I want to change my Dropbox file structure

My file structure for dropbox is showing as Beverly/Dropbox/ other folders.  When things are shared with me, it is under the file structure of Dropbox/other folders.  This is causing my team to not be able to view files I upload.  How can I remove the Beverly before my Dropbox?

    By Default, the Dropbox folder on your computer is created under the user profile of your computer user account (the account you sign in to the computer with), which in your case is probably Beverly. The only way to remove Beverly from the path would be to move your Dropbox folder to a new location on your computer.

     

    That said, the location of the Dropbox folder on your computer would have nothing to do with the ability for others to view files that you upload. What, exactly, is happening when they try to view the files, and how are you uploading/sharing them with your team members?
