Can people see a group's name when opening my shared link, and not my real name?
These are critical pre-sale questions.
Dropbox Plan: Free, but buying Plus as soon as I have answers to my questions. Payment Method: Will be card. How did you upgrade?: Will be directly through ...
Thanks for your post, Dweb.
When signing up for a Dropbox account, youâll be asked to create a username indeed.
Once the users you shared your folder with open the link youâve created, theyâll inevitably see your username, apart from the name of the folder. Also, keep in mind that your email address will only be seen in case you add it to the name of the folder youâre sharing (otherwise, it won't be visible anywhere in the shared link).
So, if you donât want your real name to appear when opening the link, but a different one, or even the name of your group, youâll need to make that your username (you can set whatever username you like, as this doesnât affect your Dropbox payments/plan - this is something that's totally up to you).
Now, regarding changing your billing cycle from monthly to yearly, you can do this anytime you want during the month (the changes youâve made will take effect upon the expiration of your monthly subscription/at the end of your billing cycle and you'll be billed for a yearly plan after that).
Let me know, if you have more questions though.
In settings I see First Name and Last Name, but not a field for Username. Let's say my name is Jane Doe. I can put Doe Pics or Pretty Pics? Or I can put First Name as My Travel and Last Name as Photos & Stuff?

You can put whatever you want :)
The only issue you may have is when it tries to charge card if they are linked and your card company refuses it.
Being honest here, with somebody who shares lots of info and files around people really dont notice the name on the link or account when downloading because it is plainly obvious its their files once you click on the link.
The other thing you could consider is using branding on the links so when they click on the link they get at least backgrounds and imagery relating to you.
