Uploader information in a file request
If you share a link for a file request is there a way for them to give their name or email so when you get the file you know who it belongs to?

Hi beachesresidential, thanks for messaging the Community!
When you create a file requests, users have to enter a name and an email address, if they're not already signed into their own Dropbox account.
The name is the information you would receive as part of the filename in the upload. The email address is for their own records, as they'd get email confirmation that the upload was successful.
If you need any more details, feel free to message back!
