How do I rename the root folder?
I recently joined Dropbox for Business on a trial basis. As part of the process, it forcefully renames your Dropbox folder to "Dropbox (Personal)". I have since decided not to use Dropbox for Busines...

Unlink the DB app from your account, rename the folder, relink the DB app (do not use previous settings when prompted).

You cant, the application keeps renaming it back to add the biz name if you did manage it.
(pretty rude of them really, changing folder names on biz customers, but I guess its who cares we have there money already, lets make it nice for the free account!)
Anyway, what you can do is create a symbolic link folder that mimics the original folder name.
(They were meant to do this for you but dont all the time)
If you on a windows machine, perfom a dos shell then in your case type
MKLINK /D "G:\DROPBOX" "G:\DROPBOX (BIZ NAME)"
That will mimic the folder to the name you want (each of the folders is present, but they are the SAME location, so dont go and delete one thinking that you dont need it, as it deletes both)
