Dropbox integration: Add Unique ID to the filename of uploaded file

    Asked on May 28, 2014 at 2:57 PM

    Using DropBox integration I can use the Unique ID to create folders.

    I would like to append the Unique ID to the beginning of each uploaded file. Is this possible?

    Uploaded filename = "testfile1.doc"

    Unique ID = "20140001"

    Prefered filename = Unique ID + uploaded filename = "20140001testfile1.doc"

    Thank you.

    I guess that is not possible as for the moment. I can open a ticket for this feature, however, I cannot guarantee when this feature might be available, sometimes it might take several months. What about using custom defined Folders and Subfolders? That should help someway along with UNIQUE ID naming

    Thank you for your prompt response.
    Please open a ticket.
    Although I can easily configure my DropBox folders with the Unique ID I really need to use this ID in the filename. If the functionality was available in JotForm/DropBox that would remove a special process I have to run using macros in Excel.

    Hello Paige

    I have opened a separate ticket with your request. This will surely put a higher level or priority.

    essentially when a file is uploaded if it is named the same it will replace what is in Dropbox I think this is essential to be fixed.
