Non-Dropbox users showing as creator in version history?

I sent a link out to a Dropbox folder to some non-Dropbox users.  The link included editing permissions.  The version history shows that after the link was sent out, "I" made changes to the folder, however I recall doing no such thing.

 

Will non-Dropbox users (that is, people without a Dropbox account) display as "me" in the version history if they make changes?

    Hi kjade, let's jump right into this!

     

    As a first step, could you check your events page to see what you'll find there?

     

    The Events page at www.dropbox.com/events gives you an overview of all activity in your account including files events (adds/edits/deletes).

     

    Now, if someone was to make changes to a file that you shared with them, they wouldn't show up as you in the version history, I don't think.

     

    They would keep their unique info. 

     

    I hope this clarifies!
