Hi, Dropbox community, I have a question, is there a posibility to add multiple automation for the same folder?

    Hi AndreiBarta, this happens because you've chosen an automation. You wouldn't be able to add more. You should be able to use multiple naming conventions on a folder, but not different automations.  

     

    As for editing the automation, you'd need to remove it, and then add the one you want.

Hi,

for example is not possible to add these automations:

1. convert a file in pdf

2. rename the file as mm-dd-yy.pdf

to the same folder?

Hey Gualtieri, you are correct; only one automation can be added to a folder at this time.
