Dropbox using (2) different Naming Conventions and Date Formats
Hello,
Recently Dropbox has been uploading photos with different file names and date formats. Example: some files will be named "2022-04-07 17.07.01" and others will be named "Photo Apr 07 4 2...
Hi delraybeachplasticsurgery, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
If you're using the camera upload feature, all images will have the '2022-04-07 17.07.01' format, whereas images uploaded via the manual upload feature, or by dragging and dropping, will have the original filename on them, which could be similar to the 'Photo Apr 07 4 29 40' you saw.
If you need any further assistance, please let me know!
Thanks Walter. Turns out my ios Dropbox app had limited permissions to photos. For some reason something limited this setting on June 25th. I'm back in business with full permissions and using the native file names without the "Photo" prefix, and cleared the app's cache per your suggestion.
Regards,
