Be able to change Dropbox backup folders names on individual accounts
Add possibility of rename Backup folders. If you have only one computer, it go fine, but if you have more than one, it ends being very confussing. Due iCloud Drive issues, I've changed all of my Macs...

I understand that renaming the folder on the fly might be complicated since it might break a chain of symlinks and nobody wants that. However, it should be possible to choose the folder name when activating the feature.
I had to disable the backup feature altogether and do the linking by myself in the command line. Yes, this "Mac (2)" naming convention was so painful to me that I literally spent hours to get rid of it. Honestly, if I couldn't have found a way to manage it, I'd have switched to Google Drive by now.

Please fix this for future people.
