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!

OMG! FINALLY!!!!!
This is super exciting and I'm very glad that this was finally added to the file request feature. It's too bad it took so long, but now file requests can actually be a useful feature to the workflow!
Thank you!!!!!!!

I am excited for all those who will be using this newly added feature, but as for SunSpots, we had already moved on to Box and will be cancelling our Dropbox account at the end of the term. We just can't wait around for things to maybe happen - and hear nothing regarding the status of a request.
How hard is it to respond to users with an occasional :"Hey, thanks for the idea submission. Our team is working on XX at the moment with XX projects in the queue, so evaluation of your idea may take a while - but we'll try and keep you in the loop of where it stands!" (Dropbox, feel free to use that if you'd like - my parting gift to you)

Hi all,
I hope you are all well today! I just wanted to drop in again to see if any of you have had the chance to use this new feature when using File Requests?I was wondering a few things. First of all, if this feature works as you had hoped? Also, if you have any feedback on this new feature? Finally, has this feature made your experience of using Dropbox and File Requests better?
Thanks everyone, and have a great day!

Thanks for adding this feature to remove naming. Unfortunately during upload a user is still required to enter a name and email and that name is still added to the file.
Edit: It seems if you're logged into dropbox, the name is still added to the file
