How do I rename the root folder?
I recently joined Dropbox for Business on a trial basis. As part of the process, it forcefully renames your Dropbox folder to "Dropbox (Personal)". I have since decided not to use Dropbox for Busines...

Unlink the DB app from your account, rename the folder, relink the DB app (do not use previous settings when prompted).

Technically, no, there isn't. Dropbox will always use a space and parenthesis in the name for team accounts. However, see the response from a Dropboxer in the following post for a possible workaround.

Will must say that was interesting to find out, and in essence means YES you can rename the folder to ANY name (I just did) as long as you establish a symbolic link folder using the DROPBOX (BIZ NAME) (or personal etc) to point to that location. (I moved and renamed mine)
I wonder if this is something DB had to work on to perform, IE detect its a symbolic link and follow it, or if the Notification service resolves this to the truepath on enrolling?
