Hello. Can you please make it so that people are able to change the name of the "Camera Uploads" without it cancelling the automatic uploads after doing so and also make it so that people can simult...

Improvement of the points:
Point 1: As of right now, if someone, regardless if it’s the folder’s owner or shared entity, were to change the name of the "Camera Uploads" folder to something else, let's say to "Andrew's Content," Dropbox is programed to create a whole entire new folder, again named "Camera Uploads," and it will completely cancel future automatic uploads into the original folder, resulting in 2 separate folders, one new one named “Camera Uploads” and one old one that was once named “Camera Uploads” but is now named whatever the folder name got changed to, where the old one no longer has automatic uploads. This can lead users to become very confused, is very inefficient, and is what can be seen as an error in Dropbox’s algorithm from my point of view.
To help with the understanding of Point 2, let’s recognize that a normal Shared Folder is slightly different from a Camera Uploads Shared Folder.
Point 2: If a business, or anyone for that matter, has multiple people sharing their "Camera Uploads" folder to them, that business has no way to distinguish between which "Camera Uploads" folder belongs to whom without first clicking into each one, nor is the business/entity able to change the name of the folder for themselves on their end to make it easier for organizational purposes. (If they were to change the name of the folder, then refer to Point 1) I think that this is very inefficient, cumbersome, and is an important issue.
Point 3: When people want to set up automatic uploads from multiple albums in their phone named, let's call them 'Content 1,' Content 2,' and 'Content 3,' and have them saved in either the same and/or separate folders in Dropbox, let’s call the separate ones ‘Dropped 1,’ ‘Dropped 2,’ and ‘Dropped 3,’ they can't because it is not even a feature.
