Can you remove the space in the dropbox folder name ("Dropbox (Company-Name)")?
I'm using my companies business dropbox account. And it created a folder called "Dropbox (my companies name here)".
Is there a way to remove the space between "Dropbox" and "("? I don't want to ha...
Hi all,
Unfortunately, it's not possible to change the name of Dropbox folder, as many of you have discovered.
If you are using it for scripts then the best thing would firstly to parse the info.json and grab the path from there. The JSON is located:
Mac/Linux:
~/.dropbox/info.json
Windows will be one of these two paths:
%APPDATA%\Dropbox\info.json
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Dropbox\info.json
I say this as if you were to move your Dropbox folder at anytime then this would, of course, break any paths that explicitly referenced an exact folder path.
On a side note, spaces within file paths shouldn't cause issues within scripts, it's fairly normal to have some spaces in there, just ensure your path string is correctly formatted and your script should be fine.
Like many dropbox business users, the space is the Dropbox folder name continusly causes headaches.
I know that there are workarounds for all of these problems, hower it should be possible to just fix the problem so that workarounds wouldn't be constantly necessary - please do not mark this issue as solved while telling us (the customers) that spaces in paths are commonplace (they are not) or that we should "fix" our workflows by parseing a json file.
I know that currently there is no way to rename our dropbox folder. What I would like to know is whether or not this is ever going to be addressed. A no would be far better than no answer at all, which is what has been provided for the past three years.
