multiple-accounts: rename Basefolder
I have a private and a business Dropboxaccount linked to each other, since this I have
%USERPROFILE%\Dropbox (Privat)\
%USERPROFILE%\Dropbox (MIT)\
if you only have one account it is simply
%USERPROFILE%\Dropbox\
as you can imagine spaces in folder-names breaks many things and makes terminal-usage inconvenient.
Therefore I would like to rename the folders to
%USERPROFILE%\Dropbox_Privat\
%USERPROFILE%\Dropbox_MIT\
However if I change the folder to
%USERPROFILE%\Dropbox_MIT\
I get
%USERPROFILE%\Dropbox_MIT\Dropbox (MIT)\
=====
That leaves three questions:
(1) Why does someone add spaces in folder-names?
(2) Where can write a bug-report, a name of a folder should not contain any spaces.
(3) Where can a leave a feature request to rename the Basefolder

The root Dropbox folders cannot be renamed. If you need to reference a different folder name, create a symbolic link to the Dropbox folders using the names you require.
