dropbox
I clicked on a Dropbox referral link from a random user on one of the SE sites. Following through with the installation, I couldn't find any reference to who the user was that shared the referral. I'm curious if my information too is hidden from them or if they have access to it.
Is it possible:
There doesn't seem to be a way to do this at the time. Using Windows shortcuts is one possibility to make it as though the files are located in the same folders, however, it seems like it would get a bit complicated if there are a lot of folders.
There is a feature request for this exact issue, which you can vote on.
Other features you may want to look for is the ability to watch any folder, which you might be able to use in conjunction with your file system to create a limited set of folders to sync. Another one that might help is excluding certain file extensions, this would help if all the large files are of the same type (e.g. .exe, .avi, etc.).
Dropbox shows you the information in the same dialog box in a light grey shade. I just missed it when browsing a list of 50 users.

Your referrer can see your email associated with the account in the history of bonus space (requires login to your account).
