What is the purpose of this change?
This lets you, for example, use shared folders without mounting them into your home namespace first, as long as you know their namespace ID.
(The --dropbox-shared-folders flag could thus be changed to not need to mount the shared folder first, but I'm not doing that here as it's a behavior change, who knows, maybe somebody relies on it.)
This also allows access to your Dropbox Backups hidden namespace once you figure out what its namespace ID is.
Was the change discussed in an issue or in the forum before?
