How can I copy a file at night to an archive folder?

Hi

I’m working on an important file. I would like to copy this file automatically during night to an archive folder, and rename that file with a day stamp in its name. Anyone has experience with this? (My pc is not running during the night)

Thx
Bart

    Hi BasseART, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Currently, the automation features don't have the ability to make changes at a specific time of the day.

     

    There may be some other apps or services that can link with Dropbox to assist in this matter.

     

    I'll leave this thread open for other users to contribute their suggestions.
