Hey there Aleksander - how are you today?
As Dropbox Plus invoices are created in a way that we cannot adjust the billing information displayed and since you use your Dropbox Plus subscription as a business, you may want to change your account name to your business name as described here:
https://www.dropbox.com/help/billing/plus-change-invoice-information
SpoilerThis is how to update your company name on your Dropbox invoice:
- Sign in to dropbox.com.
- In the top-right of any page, click your avatar.
- Select Settings.
- In the General tab, click Edit to the right of your account name.
- Enter your company or organization name split over the First name and Last name fields. You are required to type something in both fields.
- Update your billing information. Even if you plan on using the same method of payment, you'll need to reenter your billing information after updating your account name in order to change the information that appears on your invoice.
Learn more about updating billing information for Dropbox Plus.
Your company or organization name will now appear on invoices and when you share files.
To access an invoice, visit your payments page.
Note that there are more options for customizing the invoices on our Dropbox Business plans, if you need more inforamtion about this you can visit this page:

Thanks Walter, that link is totally useless as in the plus invoicing profile is not possible to specify VAT number that will appear in the invoice.
Cheers.

You should be able to achieve this by having your VAT ID reflect on your account's name and/or surname fields riodda!

How is this not solved! It's open since 2018!
Putting your VAT number on your name is an impractical hack. Clients using shared folders see a change in my dropbox name for absolutely no reason other than dropbox does not care about EU based freelancers.

The ability to get an invoice is not a feature it's a legal requirement in the EU.
Dropbox is intentionally making the process complex to upsell more expensive plans.
