Add possibility of rename Backup folders. If you have only one computer, it go fine, but if you have more than one, it ends being very confussing. Due iCloud Drive issues, I've changed all of my Macs...

I have several Mac's that share the same Dropbox Business account. I have each of them backing up on with Dropbox backup. I am perpetually confused about which computer is which when trying to find items in my backups. The names that Dropbox Backup creates for each computer when it is added are not based on the name of the computer which is set by the user. Dropbox Backup gives each Mac an arbitrary name, "Mac", and if you add more you get "Mac (2)" and "Mac (3)" and so on.
Thought the files are being backed up, it is difficult to know which computer owns which backup set. This can be challenging when traveling remotely from my desktop and looking for folders on my my desktop that exist within Dropbox Backup. I have to dig through the files one device at time until I find the file I need.
Dropbox Backup should inherit the local computer name when it creates the backup file in Dropbox. Then once established a user should able to change the names of the backup folders to something that provides identifiable and contextual names that allow for easy discovery of backed up files when multiple systems are backed up on the same account.
