Scheduled Versions - Dropbox Replay
This has been requested already.. but I truly think it could be a indispensable feature if implemented. - - Suggesting that the ability to schedule version uploads would be a huge benefit when uploading a new version to an existing project similar to scheduling a email. Currently when posting a new version on Dropbox Replay, it instantly posts and uploads it. When working with clients, sometimes it would be ideal to schedule a post before it goes live. When going to post a 'new version' it would be nice to have a pop up which then asks when you would like for the new version to be posted. That way, clients who revisit the link won't be prompted with the latest version without you notifying your client. Similar to sending a scheduled email, or text message.
Stacks pop-up when adding a new link
When adding a link outside of the network dropbox, such as a client website or a SharePoint page, it would be great if a renaming window could pop up immediately. As it is, the page just gets named 'SharePoint" which is likely always too general. Thank you, this would help me a lot, as our internal intranet is in SharePoint, which we can't currently link to Dropbox.
Automation deleting most of the name of a file
Device Online dropbox automation Question or Issue I have set up an automation that first renames and then moves files from a folders subfolder. The renaming is supposed to just add "_note" to the file name. The problem is that in addition to adding _note, it removes most of the file name and all my files get the name "ai_note" instead of the original "something. something_ai" Here is the automation: Here are the results in the other folder: Here is the file history showing that the start of the file name was removed and replaced by just the last word (AI).bulk file rename in "automation option"
Hi, We have been working with a lot of image-sequence-based files recently. When it came to the point when we had to rename about 60.000 files at once, we faced the following problem: In Finder of MacOs (Tahoe) it is easy to bulk rename multiple files at once using the "search & replace" option. But when we do so, the sync process is started and it takes a lot of time until the files are synced online. As we are co-working on our projects, this procedure has become the bottleneck in our workflow. Then we tried to apply the automation option where there also is a renaming function. But unfortunately, it is only possible to add prefix or suffix. Wouldn't it be great to have there the function 2search & replace" to rename multiple files as required? This would be a great idea and function to implement. Thanks and best Juhn
Use dots instead of dashes with naming conventions
I use the "Scan Files" feature regularly and I would love to have control over the format of the name given to the new file. It is currently prefixed by the date in reverse (great), which I like, but I have ALWAYS delimeted using period whereas your default uses a mixture of hyphen, space and periods. I would hope, however, that a user could choose this format, including datetime attributes and delimeters - eg. YY.MM.DD.HH.MM.<filename>.<filetype> Would love to see this feature.

How get notified if automation was successful/failed?
I have an Automated Folder that converts the uploaded file to PDF and saves it. I am using Dropbox API for it. Is there a way for me to programmatically check whether/when the PDF file generated by the automation is available? How should one go about it?
