how to rename dropbox root folder?
There is a post about this from 2015 with replies up to 2019 but the reply button is greyed out, hence I'm creating a new thread.
I'm guessing Dropbox couldn't be bothered to find a solution so...

The root folder cannot be renamed. It's simply not possible. Create a symlink called Dropbox and point it to the newly renamed folder.
That doesn't solve the problem as it defeats the object of having the same path as it used to be.
Path it used to be: Dropbox
New stupid path: xyz Dropbox
New path with symlink: Dropbox/xyz Dropbox
I found a solution:
it turns out xyz is the [team name] that you can find in Dropbox settings on the admin side of the website.
Do THIS:
Renaming the team name in dropbox settings to 'Dropbox'.
(I luckily found this out after a lot of digging. Now I just need to find out how & when dropbox's folder name will update itself...)
