Rest API: naming conventions for new file request

Hello, 

We are using dropbox API to create file upload requests:

 

 

https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/file_requests/create

 

 

And the problem is - how to stop dropbox from renaming uploaded files? 

Is there any option to do this via rest api?

 

Another possible solution may be to be able to set this somehow globally for all new file requests. 

But again - we not found any way to do this through settings.

 

So how to deal with this then? Any ideas how to solve this problem?

  • Unfortunately I don't have a solution to offer here as there isn't a global setting for that and the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to control this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
