Why do my Dropbox folders have the month visible?

Hi,

 

I am creating a folder structure like this

Main folder -> Month -> Date -> Child Folders.

 

But if the month and date are the same, for example:

Main folder -> 11->11-> Picture 

Then the folder name on Dropbox will be shown like this

 

I would like to ask why is this happen and what are the solutions for this ?

 

Thank you

    Hi dangvu2308, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Could you clarify how you're creating these folders? Is this via the automation feature, or are you manually creating them?

     

    Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!

        If you manually created the folders, then there shouldn't be any extra characters added to the folders, unless you have another app or service that could be changing it on your computer. 

         

        Do you see any events regarding the folder name changes?
