Dropbox StaffHey the_ood, thanks for the post and happy Friday!
I'm afraid that the name of the backup folder cannot be changed currently.
I will, however, pass this along to our devs team for consideration!
If you need anything else, make sure to let us know.

Hey Hannah, I have this exact same issue, only for me I upgraded to a new Mac, and now the old one is Mac and the new one is Mac (2). It's really frustrating! Hope y'all can fix this so we can edit the computer names soon!

Hey seanscottusa, thanks for the feedback on this one!
I just wanted to mention that this is already in the works as some backups and backup folders are currently able to be renamed.
We are currently working to upgrade all backups to have similar functionality.
If you'd like to track this idea, you can have a look here.
How will we know when we are part of the lucky group and are able to safely rename our folders without creating any synchronisation errors?
Will we individually be notified or as a group or as a whole?
What is the actual status of this resolution?

Hey Derek Erb Solutions, the option to rename your backups is available in the Dropbox Backup beta.
If you haven’t been prompted to update and would like to be on Dropbox Backup Beta, you can do so by disabling and re-enabling the Dropbox Backup feature.
I hope this helps!
Fantastic news, thanks!
