Can I turn off the initials that appear on markups?

Can anyone tell me how to turn off the annoying initials on Dropbox markups? I would appreciate getting rid of this completely unnecessary new addition. Thank you

    Hey DroppingUser007, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.

     

    Can you please send us a screenshot and give us some more context on this?

     

    Any additional info would be really helpful.

     

    Thanks!

    Initials on image from mark up comments.Hi Hannah, 

    When you mark up an image in the comment section, it will now place your initials on the image. This makes it really hard to do revisions.

    Can you see the preview in the text box on my previous message? I can see it there. When I select the camera icon, it asks for a source. So, I am unsure how to upload it without it being an online link.

    What happens if you drag your screenshot in your reply box instead DroppingUser007 ?

    Thanks for the screenshot @DroppingUser007 - much appreciated.

     

    As you probably noticed, there's no way to turn off the initials (or profile pictures) from people who commented on specific parts of your images at this time. 

     

    That said, if you'd like to see this implemented, you can feel free to post your thoughts about this in our Share an Idea section using these tips.
