Rest API: naming conventions for new file request
Hello,
We are using dropbox API to create file upload requests:
https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/file_requests/create
And the problem is - how to stop dropbox from renaming uploaded files?
Is there any option to do this via rest api?
Another possible solution may be to be able to set this somehow globally for all new file requests.
But again - we not found any way to do this through settings.
So how to deal with this then? Any ideas how to solve this problem?
Unfortunately I don't have a solution to offer here as there isn't a global setting for that and the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to control this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

has this changed since? We are using API to do everything in dropbox. The added uploader name, is annoying for us. I wish we could set the naming convention at the creation of a file request or set the default file request name convention
