Thanks Greg. So I am integrating the Dropbox API with the Thrive Theme Builder. The API connection stuff is all coded on their end.
I have a form where a user can upload files and they will directly be sent to my dropbox account.
The issue i'm having is in the naming convention. They say to use {email}_{match} as an example of a file name that would show the user's email and the filename....however the file naming is not working as all files start with this and not user email ___T_USR_EMAIL___
I'm guessing that this probably has to be figured out by Thrive's development team?

5 years agoThanks for following up. Yes, the file names for files uploaded to Dropbox via the Dropbox API are set by the app's code when it performs the upload, so you'll need to contact them for help with that.
They can contact us directly if they do need help with anything on the Dropbox API itself of course.
