How to change the file name, when using a File Request?
I belong to a photo club that has us send submissions to their dropbox file. I use an iPhone and want to be able to submit a photo. How do I put in the name of the photo in place of that long file na...

You would need to find a way to name/rename the file on your device before you upload it. That's something unrelated to Dropbox. Perhaps see if there's a way to rename a file in your photo library, or perhaps make a copy of the files elsewhere on your device and rename it there.
What happens is this:
1- I click on the link which is sent that opens up dropbox which access the photo club account.
2- I click on the link for adding files.
3- I choose the photo library, which is on my iPhone. The only pictures in there are usually .JPG files.
4- I select a photo and then select upload
5- I see a long file name similar to this:
E619FB54-C533-41D0-B20C-E9F3CD2213âŠ
6- it doesnât let me put it in the actual name that I have given the photo.
7- thatâs what I donât understand. Where can I put that information in before itâs finally submitted?
Thank you
