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 ...
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?
Hi, I think it's actually the same issue (fyi, I did that on my Mac in case and even restarted, no change: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Apps-and-Installations/Right-click-options-missing-in-MacOS/m-p/655707/highlight/true#M50046)
-> the issue is that I can't seem to be able to see the Organise option on my Desktop app or on my Mobile app.
I can see it in the Web app, it's doesn;t have existing naming convention but it's normal cause I only set it up on my mobile. But I can't edit it on my mobile anymore.
Desktop: I tried via the Finder to right click on the root folder (Dropbox) and the Camera folder (Dropbox/Camera uploads) -> no Organise option (cf screenshot shared previously)
Mobile: I can't see the Organise option either

Hey ibox1 - sorry to jump in here, but I just wanted to mention that naming conventions are available through the website at this time, not within the mobile app or the desktop app (it would redirect you to the website anyhow).
As for the previous setup, can you navigate to the folder from a web browser and click the (...) button for the folder? Do you see 'edit' or 'add' automation?
Next to the folder on the web, do you see a little grey tag icon showing 'automated'?
