Please stop renaming our files automatically

It's 2024 - almost August.  I have been a Dropbox User for a long time.  I upgraded a few years ago and was happy to be able to just transfer over my files each week to keep my laptop somewhat clean....

Hi Seriously, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

In general, Dropbox doesn't rename your files automatically, unless you're using the Camera Upload feature, or the automation feature.

 

Could you clarify exactly how your files are being renamed by describing what you're doing, step-by-step?

 

This will help me to assist further.
