Hi everyone,
We are very happy to let you all know that the ability to remove the Dropbox username from a file name when submitting a File Request is now available.
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.
We know that a lot of you have been very keen to see this feature added and we hope it now makes using File Requests a little bit easier for you all.
Thank you for you patience getting to here and for choosing Dropbox!
Have a great day!

Is there a way when sending a file request to adjust a setting to remove the current formatting that inserts the name of the person who submits the file in front of the file name? Current formatting: John Doe - RequestedFile.xlsx Desired formatting: RequestedFile.xlsx Thank you!

A way around this is to instead type a space for the first and last name, though it might not look as pretty for a filename to be preceded by multiple spaces.
