PSA: If converting a folder from 1.4 to 2.0, make sure you first disassociate the folder from ALL machines.
I updated a machine that is usually off to 2.0 today, several days after updating other machines (total 6 devices) and the straggler promptly recreated the 1.4 folder on all the other machines. Now I have to go through and do cleanup.
Let me be clear: THIS IS HORRIBLE UX.
Dropbox is much better at the UX up to this point but I don't trust/need a copy in the cloud. But BT, please do not delude yourselves in thinking the current iteration or anything leading up to this point has been a good user experience. I've had to on multiple occasions needed to do cleanup on different machines because of this automagical behavior. Automagic is all fun and games until it does something unexpected. I'm much more in favor of predictable, repeatable behavior, particularly in an app like this.
Also, there does not seem to be a way to reset the identity.
