OK, they are finally rolling up a Beta update for Dropbox Backup that will let you rename and I was able to do it! You can do go through Dropbox Backup in the app, disable the backups on all the computers there, and then restart them. Then, re-enable backups and it should move you over to beta so you can now rename things!

I've been a dropbox customer since 2010.
THIS feature is a JOKE! I have had dropbox since 2011 and USED TO love it! Did the meaning of the word "sync" get changed at dropbox? Because there is no "SYNCING" going on at all. "SYNC" used to mean dropbox kept all of my files organized and up to date across all my devices.
I will be going to ANY OTHER CLOUD service. I am not a fan of other cloud services, but at least they keep my files straight.
Bye bye
