You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Hi!
I would suggest something that sounds very well: custom URL with the username.
https: //www.dropbox.com/s / ........
There is some way the link is based on my username for example:
https: //www.dropbox.com/s/ FJR / ..........
Things of this type, could be useful for example to identify if that URL in the system is from a file that has as owner someone pre-authorized ...
Among other dozens of benefits 😄
My suggestion is to have an account option where I can choose my custom URL and decide if it applies to all my public links or only in some specific folder (thinking about privacy)
In my case I would rather that all the links I generate had my custom URL, even the links we generate with right mouse button on Windows.
PS: Custom Domain would also be incredible to have, a whitlabel for advanced Dropbox accounts.
I would welcome this with open arms, really handy to send assets to my clients.

Status changed:NewtoGathering SupportThis idea is going to need a bit more support before we share your suggestion with our team.
We’ve updated the status to encourage more users to back you up! I wouldn't mind a custom domain option; if I could share files with people that use my own domain rather than "Dropbox" it looks a lot more professional. In theory I could do this already by creating urls and redirects that just link to a Dropbox share link with dl=1 at the end of the url, but that's not ideal and time consuming.
+1,000,000 I would absolutely love to have this custom domain feature for Dropbox share links! It would be great to have an option of either sharing with a custom domain or without, so for any links that are perhaps personal and not business related, we can choose to just use the regular Dropbox share link. Extra Bonus would be amazing to have multiple custom domains (for different brands within the same company) so that you can choose which custom domain to use when sharing a link. For ease of use, users could set their preference for the default share link option (custom domain or regular dropbox), but then have in the Dropbox Share menu the option to choose on the fly what custom domain to use, or regular Dropbox for that specific shared link.
I know we could use a short link generator to share Dropbox links with a custom domain, but it would be awesome to have this as a built-in feature in Dropbox to make it fast & painless as it would require less steps!
FYI for your reference, CloudApp allows customers to use a custom domain for shared screenshots, screen recordings, etc. So having a custom domain for sharing Dropbox files/folders as well as Dropbox Capture would be great!

Thank you for your idea, while we can’t take every idea forward we do regularly re-review and will update you if anything changes!
