Best way to collect client uploads in one Dropbox folder and sort by client and date
I’m looking for some guidance on the best way to set up a streamlined upload flow for multiple clients. Goal I’d like to have a single upload point (for example, one shared link or form) that allows multiple clients to upload files without logging in. Ideally, when they upload: They provide their email address or name Dropbox automatically routes those files into a folder structure like: Client Name (or email) → Submission date → Uploaded files So, over time I’d end up with something like /Client A/email@clienta.com/2025-11-14/…files /Client B/email@clientb.com/2025-11-20/…files etc. Questions Is there a native Dropbox feature (e.g. File Requests or similar) that can: accept uploads from multiple people via one URL, and also capture who uploaded what in a way that could be used to organise files per client? If not fully possible natively, what’s the best-practice approach people have used? Multiple File Requests? Dropbox + a form tool (Typeform, Jotform, etc.) + Zapier/Make to create folders and move files based on email address? Any recommended automations / templates that already do this? I’m comfortable using third-party automation tools if needed, but I’d love to understand what’s realistically achievable within Dropbox first, and what the most robust setup would be.
Can't remove my access from a shared folder since I don't have the option.
Question or Issue I want to remove my access from a shared folder, where I am an editor to save up space (without deleting the shared folder for anyone else). I followed the advice from here: https://help.dropbox.com/share/leave-shared-folder. The problem is that from "manage permissions", I don't have the dropdown menu, where I can click "remove my access" (I am KA on the screenshot). I tried this on my Dropbox windows app and also from the browser website but I still can't do it. When I select delete on the said folder, it only offers to delete the shared folder for everyone. Is there any way I can remove the shared folder for myself so that it stays for others? Thanks for any help.Camera uploads renamed all files to HH:MM:SS format omitting the date
Hello, Suddenly today most (except a couple?) of my files in Camera Uploads folder got renamed to just HH:MM:SS removing the date whatsover from the filename. This included not only latest files but also older ones that were in this folder for long time. Not sure what triggered this action, but I can see all of those were renamed today ~20:54 which coincidentally is when I opened Dropbox app on my phone.: I'm using iOS app to sync my photos for years and it was working flawlessly from two separate iPhones. App version is 434.3.2 Assuming bug?

Deutsch: Dropbox Screenshot- und Markup-Feature – Bitte verbessern! Hallo zusammen, ich bin frustriert vom „verbesserten“ Screenshot-Feature in Dropbox.

Hi, I have a folder in my dropbox with a different item on each page. I have also done a contents page listing each item. I would like to be able to tap on an item in the contents and it take me straight to the specific page. Each page has a specific title. Is it possible to do this and if so, how....I aren't great at the IT aspects so any simple guidance would be great. I have seen music/song books where you can go to a song in the contents and you can tap on the one you want and it takes you straight to that page/ song. There is also a note on each page you can tap and it takes you back to the contents. Clever stuff....thankyou. .
