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

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.
