Hey lukeflegg, if you're just sending 'can view' links to your clients, they can't see your email through Dropbox.
If you're sending links via email, using this address, they'll of course see it, but through your Dropbox link, your email address is not visible; they can only see your account's name.
Hello 🙂
Different emails. But the one I use for Dropbox is my "Alternative email" for my Google account.. meaning I can literally log into Google with it and if people share a Drive doc or folder with that email, it behaves like my Google email.

Although I don't know if clients would ever see what email address I use for Dropbox?
