When you sign up for an account on most platforms, you better use your email address.
Its also a privacy issue.
To prevent that, most sites allow you to set a preferred display name used in almost all scenarios.
There are some situations, however, where you may want to change your display name.
You could also have changed your name, perhaps when getting married, for example.
Your display name is always important, as it means that the website or service refers to you correctly.
To be able to change your Dropbox display name, you oughta be within your account parameters.
In the default General controls tab, press Edit for the second entry in the list, labeled Name.
Within the change name popup that appears, there are two unlabelled text boxes.
Once youre done, click Change name to apply the change.
Tip: Unfortunately, you cant choose to leave either box blank.
type your first name in the top textbox and surname in the bottom textbox.
Its nice to be correctly named or to be able to use a different one whenever you want.
