When users submit files to a folder I've shared with them via File Request, Dropbox automatically pre-pends their name to their files. e.g., if they titled the file "AudioFile_take01," when they submitted to the shared folder, Dropbox adds their name to it and it becomes "Their Full Name - AudioFile_take01."

I think there should be a preference/setting where one can ask that no such prepending occurs.
