Currently in Dropbox Backup all machines are named Mac (1), Mac (2), Mac (3) etc.
Please add the ability to change those or at least give an alias so we can be able to understand which machine is which.
You should be able to do this via the website: https://help.dropbox.com/organize/how-to-manage-dropbox-backup#To-manage-your-backups-with-the-updated-Dropbox-Backup
There is no rename option there.
Dropbox support says this isn't currently available.
If that's the case, it means that you must be using the older version of the Dropbox Backup feature @Guy m
If you'd like to be able to rename your backups, you'd need to update to the new version by following the steps outlined here.
I hope this helps a tad!
Thanks but that article is from last year. I installed Dropbox after that came out.
Hey @Guy m.4, can you take a look at that article again and check if you're able to do everything that's possible with the updated version of the backup feature?
If not, it means you're probably on the older version, so you'll still need to follow the steps in there to update your experience.
Let us know how it goes.
This is what Dropbox support just wrote me:
"After v123, Computer Backup folder names are:Mac or PC for the first connected device. Following connected devices will be identified by the number. For example, the 2nd PC connected will be called PC(2) Your first connected device will be named Mac or PC, depending on your operating system. The names that will be applied after the first one will have a number appended to the end. At this time, the Computer Backup folders cannot be renamed. The name of the folder is automatically created by enabling the feature."
Am I missing something?
You claim there is a way?
Hey there, @Guy m.
Did you follow the steps that my colleague, @Hannah provided in her previous response?
Did you come across any issues while doing so?
