Naming convention not working on video files.
When logged into the web (Firefox as the browser), I set a naming convention for a folder so that it lists the Date Captured, then lists the time from the metadata: YYYY-MM-DD-HH.MM. When I did this, it worked for all of the photos I added in, but it didn't work on the videos at all no matter what I tried. Is this not working because it's the date "Captured", which doesn't really apply for video files? I don't want to use the "Date Uploaded", since that could mess up my own file organization, but I'm not sure what to do here.

This Dropbox Forum page won't let me upload photos directly. When I click on the camera icon in the bar at the top of the WYSIWYG, the options shown to me are "Source" "Image description" "Dimensions" and "Constrain proportions." The "Source" field does not allow me to choose files from my computer, so it seems to me the only option is to enter in a URL in that field. Let me know if I'm missing something.

Hmm, this is a bit odd indeed. Can you test this via a different browser/incognito mode and let me know if the same thing happens?
I'm in Safari now.... Clicking the camera icon gives me the same UI as when I was using my Chrome browser, i.e. it shows me a "Source" field that doesn't allow me to choose a file from my computer.
I already sent an external link before in my initial message above. I’ll paste it again here:

My automation settings are: Prepend to the file name the date and time of when the photo/video was originally taken or recorded.
