Folder Automation

Is there a way to apply automation (file names) to multiple folders / subfolders or do you have to add automation to each folder?

Also, is there a way to create a sample folder with automation settings that if you copied it over to a new folder, the automation setings would carry over?

Thanks

Hi @vallencesp, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!

I'm afraid that there's no way to apply automation rules on multiple folders or sub-folders at this time, you'd need to do it separately for each folder.

Also, it's not currently possible to copy an automated folder and keep its automation settings, you'd need to set your automation rules/filters anew on the copied folder.

I hope this clears things up and please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Walter!
Is possible to achive this with api endpoint? Or just direct from dropbox app/website?

Thanks

Hi @julio_diniz_perdigao, this question would be better placed in the Dropbox API community section, as they're more knowledgeable on this matter.
