It doesn't work that way. It will always be your primary email.

Thank you for the confirmation, but that doesn't feel right because when I create a file upload request, there is a footer at the bottom that says the file will be uploaded to my "First name last name" dropbox account instead of the owner of the shared folder. Shouldn't the owner of the shared folder be the end point for the upload? For example, If the owner of the shared folder removed me, I would loose access to anything uploaded so why is my name on the footer?

Hi MDLprod, could you confirm that the behavior you're experiencing is different to what is described in this article?

Yes, my issue is different. I'm all set on having secondary emails. And Rich answered my base question, so technically my quesiton is answered but I was also commenting that I think we should be able to select a secondary email as the "sender" of a file request instead of the footer in the request saying it's coming from our personal name. I'm fine for now, but it would be a nice feature to add to future updates.
