multiple-accounts: rename Basefolder

[JoKalliauer]

I have a private and a business Dropboxaccount linked to each other, since this I have

%USERPROFILE%\Dropbox (Privat)\
%USERPROFILE%\Dropbox (MIT)\

if you only have one account it is simply

%USERPROFILE%\Dropbox\

as you can imagine spaces in folder-names breaks many things and makes terminal-usage inconvenient.

Therefore I would like to rename the folders to

%USERPROFILE%\Dropbox_Privat\
%USERPROFILE%\Dropbox_MIT\

However if I change the folder to

%USERPROFILE%\Dropbox_MIT\

I get

%USERPROFILE%\Dropbox_MIT\Dropbox (MIT)\

=====

That leaves three questions:

(1) Why does someone add spaces in folder-names?

(2) Where can write a bug-report, a name of a folder should not contain any spaces.

(3) Where can a leave a feature request to rename the Basefolder

The root Dropbox folders cannot be renamed. If you need to reference a different folder name, create a symbolic link to the Dropbox folders using the names you require.
