    Hi there Purple_unicorn - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!

     

    You can find all the information you need about the naming conventions feature on this page.

     

    At the time being, there's no way to set conditions for naming conventions or change the date format automatically, but you can post your thoughts or feature requests you might have in the Share an Idea section following these tips if you like.

     

    I hope this helps a tad.
