Can you remove the space in the dropbox folder name ("Dropbox (Company-Name)")?

[Vincent M.9]

I'm using my companies business dropbox account. And it created a folder called "Dropbox (my companies name here)".

Is there a way to remove the space between "Dropbox" and "("? I don't want to have a space in the path. So the folder name will become "Dropbox-Company" or "Dropbox_Company" or something, but not space.

It seems impossible.

This is very frustrating. My company went with Dropbox upon my recommendation, and now we cant flash our firmware to our device, because the flashing software complains about the space. This basically makes our Dropbox account useless. It is such a simple fix, and yet I don't understand why it hasn't been fixed yet...

This is an issue when running npm installs on Mac as well, for those of us trying to actually use Dropbox to the fullest.

Same here. I need that space to get removed! Or maybe a way to revert to the pre-business (personal) Dropbox account.

Exit the Dropbox app. Make a note of the current Dropbox folder name and rename it to what you need it to be. Create a symbolic link to the newly renamed folder name using the name it previous had. Restart the Dropbox client.

This is a solution that was posted by a Dropboxer a little over a week ago, but that does not mean that it's a supported solution. Simply put, you're on your own to get it to work and there's no guarantee that it will always work with future updates.

That space is a pebble in my shoe. Not to mention the parentheses.

I have the same problem, Need to eliminate the space and "()", I really want Business account but the Space and "()" is not working with many programs.

workaround for me on Windows 10 is   :   mklink \J Dropbox_CO "Dropbox (CO)"

Dropbox sort it out, this issue has so many potential issues and is an easy fix. Raised in August 2015!! Either replace the spaces with another character or give the user control.

I hope this gets fixed soon. The space creates a lot of issues for me as well.

Has anyone done anything about this issue? I'm having difficulty with this on linux.

More issues here due to the same, please address this Dropbox.  I would actually like to use my business account for its intended purpose!
