    <description>Hey &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1515508"&gt;@franzxaveer&lt;/a&gt;, thanks for bringing this to our attention.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
It's really strange for a laptop to be registering as an iPhone, indeed.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Can you try unlinking the device again from your security page and performing an &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/advanced-reinstall" target="_blank"&gt;advanced reinstall&lt;/A&gt; of the application, to see if that helps?&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Keep me posted!</description>

      <title>Dropbox showing wrong device name</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Settings-and-Preferences/Dropbox-showing-wrong-device-name/m-p/575248#M10344</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In Dropbox settings &amp;gt; Security a wrong device name is shown.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It is not the Macbook’s name set in System Preferences &amp;gt; Sharing.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Interestingly Dropbox used a name from a friends iPhone nearby (in the same Wi-Fi).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I already tried to remove the device in the Dropbox Security Settings and add it again.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Still the same naming.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;What could be the problem?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thank you.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello Hannah.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you for the help.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The advanced reinstall helped me understand that the problem was not on Dropbox’s end.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Changing the HostName of my Macbook did the trick.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;BR /&gt; I know it's been a while and I'm really sorry for the delay, but I'm happy to see that the advanced reinstall did it.
