How to Rename a Dropbox Folder
Dropbox is an online file storage service that is used primarily to keep documents and other files in sync between two or more computers. Files and folders saved to the Dropbox folder on a host computer are synchronized to the Web interface. From there, the files are synchronized to all other computers connected to a Dropbox account, ensuring that consistent file and folder access is available from all machines. Changing file or folder names can be done from within the operating system setting or through the Dropbox Web interface.
