On sharing, the old folder name appears. How can I avoid this?
I once changed the name of a folder. When I share that folder with someone, they get to see the old name. How come and how can I avoid this?

Shared folders will always keep the name they initially had upon sharing. However, its worth remembering that the other person can rename and move it, if they so wish, without you knowing they've done so, and having the share still work.

This is the solution.
A bit of a hassle, though. All the people I share the folder with have to accept the invitation again. But then it goes well.Dankjewel!
