Multiple automation for the same folder. Is it possible?
Hi, Dropbox community,
I have a question, is there a posibility to add multiple automation for the same folder?
Unfortunately I doubt you'll be able to see it as Dropbox doesnt track and host such things or share it. The only person who will see an IP address is the account owner themselves at www.dropbox.com/account and if it was in a paid team. Note as well that Dropbox does not store or access the MAC address of accounts so you wont get that at all.
ALL of the information you'll be able to see is at www.dropbox.com/events and thats all you'll be able to access I'm afraid.
You could try and get your legal teams to contact Dropbox via legal@dropbox.com or dispute-notice@dropbox.com but that may be long winded.

Hi @AndreiBarta, how are you today?
To answer your automation question, no you shouldn't be able to. You can add multiple naming rules to the folder of your choice though.
I hope that clarifies!

Hi Megan
When i want to add one more automation i have just edit automation option and in the edit window i can't even edit the automation

Hi AndreiBarta, this happens because you've chosen an automation. You wouldn't be able to add more. You should be able to use multiple naming conventions on a folder, but not different automations.
As for editing the automation, you'd need to remove it, and then add the one you want.

Hi,
for example is not possible to add these automations:
1. convert a file in pdf
2. rename the file as mm-dd-yy.pdf
to the same folder?
