How to change the name of Dropbox Backup Folder?
My MacBook was unhelpfully added to Dropbox Backup as "Mac (4)" which makes no sense. This isn't even the hostname of that machine.
How do I change the machine name?
Okay found it's now in a separate area of Dropbox Settings outside of Dropbox Preferences.
Dropbox, why do you make everything so difficult?

Where did you find this esoteric knowledge? Where is it located?
I'm dealing with PC (2)/(3) etc and don't want to resort to putting a sticker on each computer so I know which is which.
