Automatically rename and sort files in Dropbox

A Dropbox Inbox that sorts itself.

Drop a scan, a photo or a delivery note into the Inbox. It comes out in the Renamed folder with a clear name, sorted by type, issuer or date. Nobody opens a file to sort it.

  1. 2Site codes

    Every site has a code in the project list: HS14 is Harbor Street 14, RP03 is Ridge Park phase 3. Find the site from the delivery address or the order number, then use its code. Never the street name alone.

  2. 5Site photos

    Name photos by date, site code and what they show, in two or three words: Crack, Rebar, Formwork. Add the level when a sign or a drawing in the photo shows it.

  3. 6Delivery notes

    Name every delivery note by the delivery date, the site code, the supplier and the word DeliveryNote. If the note shows an order date and a delivery date, use the delivery date.

  4. 7Receipts

    Name receipts by date, the shop, what was bought and the total with its decimals. Fuel, Tools and Materials are named as such. Anything else is Expense.

Dropbox renaming FAQBefore you connect your Dropbox.

Where do I put files?
In the Inbox folder renamed.to creates in your Dropbox, or in a folder you add inside it. Files in deeper subfolders are not read.
Where do the named files go?
Into the Renamed folder, sorted by date, issuer, document type or a mix, as you choose for each Inbox folder.
How fast does a new file get its name?
Dropbox tells renamed.to the moment a file lands in the Inbox, so most files are named within minutes.
What about files that were in the Inbox before I connected?
Press Sync now on the folder, and the files in it are named and moved.
Can each folder have its own rules?
Yes. Every folder inside the Inbox has its own prompt and sorting, so delivery notes and site photos can follow different rules.
What happens to a file it cannot read?
A password-protected or damaged PDF goes to a folder of its own inside Renamed, so you see it at once.
What if two files get the same name?
Dropbox adds a number to the second one. No file is overwritten.
Does it work with Dropbox Business?
Yes, in your own Dropbox folders. Team spaces are not supported yet.
Can it delete anything?
No. Files move from the Inbox to Renamed and get their new name on the way. None is deleted.
What does it cost?
One credit per file, with no subscription. 50 free credits every month.
