Hi GZ5, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community.

 

Can you please clarify how exactly are you uploading your files? Is it through our automatic camera uploads feature or are you manually uploading them via the (+) button within the app?

 

If you could share a screenshot of a sample file showing this behavior as well, I'd appreciate it. 

 

When it comes to your second concern, you can have a look at our naming conventions and/or automation features as they might help with what you had in mind. 

 

Keep me posted!

    Hey Walter!
    Thanks for replying.

    Yes, I am uploading my files manually via the (+) button within the app (iPhone).
    I cannot make a screenshot of how it used to be since it doesn't exist anymore.
    However, I tried to create a sample of a screenshot of how it used to be (more or less). Please see the attached photos: One has the date listed just above the files (The desired behavior) while the other one doesn't (The current behavior).

     

    Please let me know if there is anything I can do in order to get that date feature back.
