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...

OK, thank you. I also use CrashPlan AND Apple's Time Machine, so I'm not so worried about loss of data from a Beta version. For me, the sole purpose of the backup feature is to be able to access certain files in Documents/Desktop/Downloads from another computer, like I do any other files in DropBox.
What I don't understand is why they didn't simply add the ability to change the name as a small extra feature instead of rolling it into a major functionality change. The backups used to be named clearly, as you can see in one of my screenshots above. DropBox removed that clarity for reasons unknown. And for reasons unknown, those old names remain on 2 computers while the other 2 are called Mac3 and Mac4!
