Can I use a pseudonym instead of my real name, when setting up Dropbox?

Hi, I want to create a Dropbox account but I don’t t want to use my real name on my account. Do I need to use it ? If they need any person information they theoretically can just look on the invoice. So do I need it or can I use a different Name like some pseudonym

    Welcome to our forum, TempUser01! Hope you’re doing great. 

     

    It’s not necessary to use your real name when setting up your Dropbox account indeed; you can use something else instead. 

     

    Let me know, if you need something else though.
