How do I change my Dropbox username or account photo?

Dropbox account photos and usernames can personalize your Dropbox account, and are visible to your friends and coworkers — this feature can help others recognize you around Dropbox. For example, profile pictures are displayed in the Dropbox badge when you collaborate on a file with another person.

You also see your account photo at the top of the page on dropbox.com.
