Auto Rename with Keywords - Placement
I am trying to auto-rename files using keywords. I know how to generally do that, but how do I automate having the keyword added to the end of the filename?
Thanks for clarifying that for me 7fdrnme
So, what you need to do in this case, is move the keyword's box after the filename's box when setting up or editing the automation rules for the folder you've applied this naming convention on.
Here's a screenshot of what I'm referring to, so I can help you visualize:
I hope this helps!

Hey there 7fdrnme, thanks for using Dropbox and happy 2023!
Can you please clarify if you're referring to our naming conventions feature and the automation options outlined here?
Let me know and we'll take it from there.
I am talking about the naming conventions feature. Here is an example:
Keyword that is auto-applied = John Smith
Filename that is manually entered = text
File with filename "text" gets auto-renamed to "text John Smith"
