  Sure. But it is sometimes hard to debug… (even to identify this as the culprit). For example, for a while one of the vscode plugins that I use just stopped working and it took quite a while for me to figure out why it had stopped working. There were no errors reported in the log. Only once I suspected what the problem was, did I move my project out of Dropbox to a local folder without space to confirm my suspicions. But the fact that several 100s of other people experienced similar or worse problems made this naming scheme a bad choice imo. A simple Dropbox-UniName would’ve avoided the problem for lots of people… That said, I don’t even see the reason to force a specific naming scheme for people’s local Dropbox folder. They should allow me to name the folder X or D on my drive. But maybe it’s just me that don’t like long path names…
