Add Copy File Name Option

I find myself often choosing Rename, Copy, and Paste when I want to give a new file a similar name to a previous one that already exists in the same folder.

Also, sometimes I need to include the file name in an email, so I have to follow the same tedious process.

It would be great if Dropbox could please add an option in the Dropbox iPhone app to simply copy the file name, as it would save ALOT of time and should not be too difficult to implement.

Thank you for the consideration.

    Hey Beatboxing! Thanks for posting here, and for your feedback. 

     

    I’ve made sure that it’s been passed on to the appropriate team, and they’ll check if they can implement this in the future. 

     

    You can ping me, if you need something else.
