automated folders

Dear Sirs,

In my dropbox I have a one file which is updated daily by various users in a normal folder. My intention is to create an automated folder, where once per month, specifically at 21h00 on the last day of each month, a copy of this file is saved automatically in another folder with the name of the month. Is that possible ?

best regards

    Hey Robbie1970! Thanks for posting here. 

     

    What you’d like to achieve exactly isn’t possible via folder automations/naming conventions, I’m afraid. 

     

    However, there may be a third-party app that could help you do this or a script, in case you have the desktop app installed on your computer and this folder is synced locally. 

     

    I hope this helps a bit.
