You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Add logic to automations via file tags
"if file tagged X, rename file with Y".
"if file tagged X, convert the file to a different format".
"if file tagged X, resize the current image file".
"if file tagged X, perform any other automation actions".
"if file tagged X (on upload) put a copy of it in folders Y, W and Z"
Every file should have a tag associated with it by default when its uploaded via mobile or desktop.
We could then build all of our automations based off file tags, regardless of what folder a file is in.
Right now its the other way around, automations are built on folders, not the files themselves.
I further support this. I generally find the automation management of a folder to be lackluster, and often find myself wishing I could do more.
