Renaming PC backups in Dropbox Backup

If one of my several PCs fail, how do I know which backup to recover, since they all seem to share a generic name?  Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks. Bruce

    Hey brucekaiser, I hope you're doing well! 

     

    It's not entirely convenient, but you'd need to check the content of the Backup, in order to do so.

     

    However, I definitely see how important and useful that'd be. We listen to your needs because it allows us to fully appreciate how Dropbox fits into and influences your daily routine.

     

    I'll forward your feedback to the appropriate areas so we can continue to improve.

     

    Thanks!
