Can we have a way to edit the text for file requests?

I'm using the Dropbox File Request feature to create a consistent upload link that my clients can use to securely upload documents at any time, without needing me to send them a request for each instance. However, the default text "sent you this request" displayed on the upload page is misleading in this context. It implies that I personally sent the link for each specific instance, which isn't accurate since clients are accessing the link independently. 

I would suggest Dropbox consider updating this language to something more neutral, such as "You are submitting files via a secure request" or "Secure Document Upload Portal." This would better align with scenarios where the File Request link is shared proactively or embedded in a website, rather than being sent directly.

This small change would greatly enhance the professional appearance and clarity of the File Request feature. Is there currently a way to customize this text, or could this be considered for future updates?

Thank you!
