  • Hi evgenbaranenko, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    In Windows, it isn't possible to rename a drive letter to a word. Only the 'descriptive name' would change, which according to your screenshot is 'BASE'.

     

    Renaming that wouldn't affect your Dropbox folder since the drive would still be located on e:.

     

    If you need any further assistance, please let me know!
