You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Folder re-naming
User Story
I was shared a folder with a very generic name by an external party. This folder name is non-intuitive and also will potentially conflict with existing folders and / or new folders in the future.
I would like a way to rename or add an alias to these shared folders both locally and globally on my account however without changing the name across all other users.

Hi MakeItBetter
Dropbox already does this 🙂
Any user in a Shared Folder can rename or move the folder without it impacting other users - you just cannot move in to an already shared folder.
Note that when you do this Dropbox will pop up lots of messages saying 'access to X lost, xxx deleted, xxx restored etc.' just ignore these and let it finish and all will be good 🙂
