Dropbox automatically adding my name to files
Does anyone know why Dropbox is automatically adding my name to files that I upload when I get a request for upload? Is there anyway to prevent this?
Thank you!
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to provide an update here. It is now possible to submit file requests without including your user name but the action to change the naming convention must be done by the person requesting the file. It's pretty easy and can be done by using the following process.
When creating the File Request, simply click on the trashcan icon next to the "Sender's name" field to remove this from the incoming files.
I hope this makes using File Requests a little bit easier for you all.
Thank you for you patience and for choosing Dropbox!
Have a great day!

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi trebbi, when you're uploading files via a file request, it isn't possible to remove the username from the file itself to ensure that files can be associated with the person who uploaded them.
If you wish, you can suggest this change for others to vote on, so the dev team can look into this in future!
