Many software tools that run on MacOS are based on command line tools and the linux environment. As such, they are generally not expecting spaces in a path and a space becomes a delimiter. While sometimes there are ways to work around this, it would be nice if Dropbox would either allow, or by default, have a configuration where the root folder on MacOS was NOT "TeamName SPACE Dropbox" even something as simple as giving the option to use an underscore or dash instead of SPACE would solve the problem.
With the current configuration, it is difficult, if not impossible to use dropbox folders with some software tools
