    <title>topic Automatically create folders based on the filename from the file I put in in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;BR /&gt;Is it possible to create a folderstructure based on the filenames I put into the main folder?&lt;BR /&gt;Example: If I have a Main folder and put in a file named ABCXXX into it, I then want it to automatically create a folder inside the Main folder based on the first 3 letters of the filename and put the file into that folder.&lt;BR /&gt;Is this possible to do in dropbox?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1799778"&gt;@Cris099&lt;/a&gt;! Thanks for posting your question here.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This isn’t possible with Dropbox at the moment, I’m afraid.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;However, I’ve moved your post to our API section, in case our team has a workaround to offer about this.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Cheers!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;If you're a programmer, you can use the Dropbox API to automatically create folders and move files as desired. The following guides may be helpful:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/getting-started" target="_blank"&gt;Getting Started Guide&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://developers.dropbox.com/dbx-file-access-guide" target="_blank"&gt;File Access Guide&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://developers.dropbox.com/detecting-changes-guide" target="_blank"&gt;Detecting Changes Guide&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And in particular, the following API endpoints would be useful:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;to list the contents of a folder: &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder" target="_blank"&gt;/2/files/list_folder&lt;/A&gt; and &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue" target="_blank"&gt;/2/files/list_folder/continue&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;to create folders: &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-create_folder" target="_blank"&gt;/2/files/create_folder_v2&lt;/A&gt; or &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-create_folder_batch" target="_blank"&gt;/2/files/create_folder_batch&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;to move files: &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-move" target="_blank"&gt;/2/files/move_v2&lt;/A&gt; or &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-move_batch" target="_blank"&gt;/2/files/move_batch_v2&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Those are links to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, but we recommend using one of &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation#sdks" target="_blank"&gt;the official SDKs&lt;/A&gt; if possible. Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
