Uploaded Files to Someone's Dropbox Using My Personal (Not Professional) Email

Hello!

I am an actor and often have to upload audition self-tapes to Dropbox links. Today, I uploaded some audition tapes to a production company's Dropbox File Request link, only to realise I was signed into my personal - not professional - Dropbox at the time. Will they be able to see the Email address I was signed in with when I uploaded the files to their Dropbox? There's nothing wrong with the Email address I used, it's just a different Email to the one I've been using to communicate with them and I'd rather have my details consolidated to avoid any potential confusion with casting!

Thank you in advance for your help.

    Thanks for posting to our Community, Hannah_Rose07!

     

    Actually, when you upload files to a file request, the recipient doesn't really see your email address, but they see your name.

     

    So they're going to see whatever first and last name you have on your personal Dropbox account.

     

    I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any more questions.
