Automation to delete content from a folder

Automation to delete content from a folder

Good afternoon!! I need to create an automation to delete all the contents of a folder with a fixed periodicity, for example every 48 hours all the photographs in a folder have to be deleted.
We have a company that generates many daily photos for sale instantly, so the next day I need to free up that space to save the new photographs we take.
Do you know how to program it?

Hey @IFRC - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!

 

While there's no such automation at the moment, perhaps you'd be interested in the data retention policies feature? 

 

Note that this is available for to Dropbox team accounts that have purchased the Data Governance Add-On.

 

Otherwise, you might be able to find a third party solution that might help achieve what you had in mind.

 

I hope this helps!
