    <description>&lt;P&gt;Dropbox does offer an API you can use to operate on files in your&amp;nbsp;Dropbox account, such as to move them between folders as desired.&amp;nbsp;You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For moving files or folders in particular, you would use&amp;nbsp;/2/files/move_v2:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-move" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-move&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;That's a link&amp;nbsp;to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, but we recommend using one of the official SDKs if possible:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Has anyone figured out a way to automatically move photos and video files from the "camera uploads" folder to sub-folders that I&amp;nbsp;created by year (ex.&amp;nbsp;2017, 2016, 2015, etc.)?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I wish there was some way to&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;setup&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;a Unix like service (ahem cron) to create a job that would interrogate a directory and move photos and videos&amp;nbsp;based on its creation time. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I can do this in my sleep on a unix-like platform ... if anyone knows an automated way to do this, holla!&lt;/P&gt;</description>
