Automation of subfolders to keep the same pattern as the parent.
Is there a way to enable all new subfolders to automatically have the same automation as the parent folder, or even the grandparent folder? As far as I can see there isn't one.
Hi Wagner,
Below the image with the new created folder:
While creating sub-folder manually, there is the option to choose the option to also add an automation to them.
But when when we do not add this automation manually, files are not converted, which in that case does not meet our need, as the files uploaded via our solution create a folder per user and per conversation when they share files in them. But this creation of folders is an automated process, so not possible to add manually an automation process for the conversion of files.

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for your patience while we looked into this internally jeromemuller - most appreciated!
So, we've confirmed that the automation inheritance (i.e. the new sub-folders also get the same automation as the parent) is not available yet to users, but we've been testing it internally and have plans to implement it very soon, so we'll keep make sure to keep you posted with any updates that might come our way.
I know it's not much, but I sure hope this helps, Jerome.
Walter, I wonder if there is an update on the availability of the automation inheritance feature? I too would like to be able to enable it. Is there a Beta test or a way for me to try it out?
ABuckley, Thanks for asking this originally.
