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.

I am a user of Houdini FX (3d graphics) which doesn't like spaces in folder names. There is no workarround for this issue. It might be a decision point for our company to use dropbox or to skip it entirely.

I was excited to try Dropbox business, and we need some of the features, but this issue where it puts spaces in folder names makes it unusable for us.  Our pipeline cannot work with spaces in directory names.  

Is this issue currently being addressed?  We may have to leave the Dropbox platform  because of this issue.

Great question Jason!  I've been trying to get any sort of comment from dropbox for over three years and all I've managed to get out of them is some version of "this is your problem not ours" or "you should change the way you work to accomidate us".  For some reason I'm still a customer...

My advise would be to not wait and look for an alternative before it becomes a hassel to change.  If you find another service that works well (maybe box or google drive?) please let me know!

I don't really think I need to explain details of this request yet again as many of your users have been asking this for years.  Don't really understand why this is so hard for you to do...

Hey @dmarchant, thanks for taking the time to detail us your interest on this functionality. I’ve already made sure to pass your comments on to our team specialists, adding your voice to the feedback gathered internally. 

Thanks for choosing Dropbox & I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day ahead!

Well, that's a step up. The original answer was "that doesn't cause any problems you dummies."

[Mikas]

Yeah, that's a progress. But we decided just to move on and are not considering Dropbox as a part of our pipeline anymore.
