I see an unwanted double dot in the filename, after uploading to Dropbox on my iPhone.
I use my iPhone to take photos and then upload them to a dropbox folder in jpg format. Dropbox names the jpg with the timestamp of the photo, which I like. What I don't like is that it inserts too ...
This is now fixed in the 392 release if you could try that please
iPhone 14 with iOS 17.5.1
Dropbox app version 388.5
I go into the app, then select a folder, tap "Upload", pick a photo (or several), tap "Add", leave the "Save as JPG" option as is, and tap "Upload"
Once the upload file has synced to my laptop (Windows 10, Dropbox 204.4.5420) it has the filename as noted.

I'm not able to reproduce this, though I'm on iOS 17.6 and Dropbox 390.1.2 (a beta release). When the file is uploaded, the time is listed as PM, and not p.m. which is where your extra dot is coming from.

Hey dapike ,
I'm a software engineer at Dropbox. These filenames are generated automatically with system settings. In order to fix this for you, I need to see your device language/locale settings.
If you could please go to the settings app, then General->Language & Region, then report back your current settings (as a screenshot), this would go a long way to helping fix your issue.
Thanks
My "preferred language" is "English (Ireland)". My "region" is "Canada". Other settings are as shown at

Thanks, that helps.
The reason you are seeing double dots is because your English (Irish) setting converts the "pm" date format to "p.m." and we don't remove the final period. This does not happen in other languages (Canadian English or American). Will be fixed soon.
