How to change naming conventions, and rename content?
Hi,
the file renaming feature is really powerful but:
I set it up a week ago and I had the choice of the naming convention, now I would like to change it but I can't find it -> can someone ...

Hi ibox1, I'd be more than happy to assist!
If you wish to edit, or even remove a naming convention, all you'd have to do would be to follow the same steps you did, when setting it up.
You can see more about that here.
As for your second point, when you add content using the desktop app, it should work the same way. Do you have issues with that?
If so, can you clarify the version of the app that you're using, and its syncing status, please?
Keep me posted!

ho thanks a lot, that's the link I was looking for, but is it normal that when I go to Naming Convention I can't see the existing naming convention?
It's like if it has been reset

Also, when trying to set Naming Convention on my desktop app (MacOS), I can't see the option Organise (following steps at https://help.dropbox.com/organize/naming-conventions)

Hi ibox1, are you certain you're viewing the naming convention for the folder, and not a subfolder within that folder?
Regarding the camera uploads folder, it might be a little different to other folders. Are you getting the Organize option when viewing a different folder?
