Can those who preview my shared link see my email address?

Does my email display if I shared a file with someone by copy pasting the link, my account is personal.

    Hey Romo86, thanks for reaching out to us.

     

    Users who preview a shared link can't see your email address or anyone else's who might access the shared link at any point in time.

     

    If they are logged in to their Dropbox account though, they may be able to see the username from the information tab available on the right-side of the page. 

     

    I hope this helps!

    So under no condition they'll see my email address right?!

      That is correct, they wouldn't be able to see that information through a shared link. 

       

      If you have any other questions or concerns, don't hesitate to get back to me. 

       

      In the meantime, I hope you have a lovely day ahead, Romo86.
