Dropbox Transfer: Include the name of the transfer to the downloaded item

Dear Dropbox Team,

We would like to request a small improvement in Dropbox Transfer. In our business, we use Dropbox Transfer to deliver image assets to our customers. To help them easily identify each transfer, we label it with the corresponding order name. This allows our customers to quickly match the transfer with their order.

However, when customers download the transfer, the saved file has a different, generic name. Some customers have reported that this causes inconvenience, as they struggle to recognize their folders later on.

We would like to request an improvement: When a transfer is downloaded, could the downloaded folder be named based on the transfer name? For example, if we name a transfer #138742146, it is currently saved as Transfer-3.zip or a similar generic name. Instead, could it be saved as #138742146.zip?

We serve thousands of customers using Dropbox, and this small change would have a significant positive impact on their experience.

We appreciate your consideration and hope this improvement can be implemented soon.

Best regards,
Asad Shakil
