Device name different then dropbox shows
The device name dropbox has for my computers is different than what they are currently named. How can I tell which is which now?

Not anymore. You used to be able to double-click a computer name on your Security page and rename them, but that was removed quite a while ago. The only way to do it now would be to unlink the computer from your account and then relink it. You might even need to do a reinstall though I don't know if that's necessary. Has been a while since I last tried.
DESKTOP-ULJLDAI probably the Inspiron desktop
DESKTOP-D9NLR5A probably the HP Probook
