Naming convention
Hello,
I am trying to change the default names given to the files I'm uploading to Dropbox.
I would like to rename all my files with the dates they were taken.
I read this can be done from the dropbox.com website, when clicking on the settings gear icon at the end of the folder name (Select Organize --> Click Set naming convention). I tried to do this, but I don't see this option. When I click on Organize, my only option is "Add automation".
What should I do?

Hey GZ5 - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!
You should be able to see the 'Set naming convention' option when you click on the gear icon after you've selected the folder at hand (in the Organize sub-menu)- it sounds like you're clicking on the ellipsis button instead.
Could you give this a go and let me know of any updates?
Thanks!
Thank you Walter!
Is there an option to set a default name for my files that will include the date when the files were created, without adding the word "photo/video" before the date?
For exemple: Jan 23, 2024Right now the default is Photo Jan 23, 2024 / Video Jan 23, 2024
Looking forward to your reply
Thank you
