Hi, Dropbox community,

I have a question, is there a posibility to add multiple automation for the same folder?

Hi @AndreiBarta, this happens because you've chosen an automation. You wouldn't be able to add more. You should be able to use multiple naming conventions on a folder, but not different automations.  

 

As for editing the automation, you'd need to remove it, and then add the one you want.

Hi @AndreiBarta, how are you today?

 

To answer your automation question, no you shouldn't be able to. You can add multiple naming rules to the folder of your choice though. 

 

I hope that clarifies!
