Shared link via WhatsApp shows wrong name

Not sure what's happening here, but when I go to share a link to a dropbox folder to my WhatsApp group, it says Learned's Hill Shared with Dropbox.  My account is not Learneds Hill and I can't figure...

Thanks for the update, priester68, this is indeed a strange case.

If you delete the link for this folder from your links page and then create a new one, does this behavior persist with the new link as well?

I'm not gonna hold my breath, but I think that did it.  I'll keep checking and let y'all know if it comes back.  🤞
