Issue renaming a file when the process of renaming the previous file isn't finished

 

Every time I want to rename a file, I have to wait because during the renaming process, if I start renaming the next file, when the renaming process of the first file is finished, it takes me back to renaming the first file again and the subsequent work on renaming the next files gets disrupted and everything remains as it was - very inconvenient - try renaming all files in a row without waiting and you will see it.

When I want to exit a folder to go to the previous folder - it throws me back to the folder that was the initial one, not the previous one - this is inconvenient and I have to perform an extra action in my work. 

Perhaps it's possible to allow renaming folders and files without interruptions and bags?

    Hey sinyusofia , thanks for reaching out to us.

     

    We appreciate your feedback on this; can you let us know which platform this is happening on?

     

    Is it the Dropbox website or the mobile app?
