Can I rename the Dropbox folder to flatten the Dropbox folder path?

Hello Dropbox community!

Does anyone know if this possible?
Can I take my existing folder path and flatten out the folder path?
I would like to rename my "Dropbox" Name to Folder1

Existing - C:\Users\Name\Dropbox\Folder2

Proposed - C:\Folder1\Folder2

The end goal is to zip the "Folder1" and extract it to a computer that doesnt have dropbox and the contents of Folder 2 is linked to the "C:\Folder1\Folder2" Directory. 

Thank you everyone!

    The main Dropbox folder cannot be renamed.
