Hi kiuzjhtgrefwdsm

I have a sneaking suspicion you're using the "Rename All" function and only have 1 item selected, hence this unexpected behavior.
I'd recommend working around this by renaming through the three dots next to the file instead.
Let me know how this goes. In the meantime, if this is the case, I'll mark this as a bug. If only 1 file is selected, this behavior should not occur.

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for reporting this here, kiuzjhtgrefwds. This is quite odd, indeed.
Are you experiencing the same issue, if you try to rename your files via the Dropbox website instead?
About the “-1” that keeps being added to your Dropbox files, you don’t have any other files with the same name at the same location. Correct?
It’d be great to have a visual of what’s happening exactly, so feel free to send over a screen recording in the form of a shared link, as well.
Let me know once you have more info.
