Add option to auto-delete original file after it's been converted via automation
Add an option to the automation workflow to delete a file after it's been converted. Use case: I have automation set up on a folder to convert all .heic to .jpg. However after the conversion, there's no way to automatically delete the original .heic and just keep the new .jpg. Thus I'm wasting a lot of space on duplicate images, and have to manually go in and delete the heic's. I previously submitted this idea and it received several votes but was closed due to inactivity. Starting a new idea because this feature would be really useful and I hope it gets implemented.329Views0likes2Comments
Watermark automation without keeping the original.
I saw this closed topic:https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-ideas/Option-to-save-watermarked-files-without-keeping-the-original/idi-p/766040 I want to add my vote for this, since is a nice improvement for our workflow. We use these folders to file invoices and documents in pdf format. I want to add a watermark on the file to show that the file passed trhought different steps of the accounting process. I saw that is possible to "replace the original file" when watermarking manually, but it is not possible using the automation tool. Thanks for reading. Have nice day. Can it be implementented?2.1KViews0likes3Comments
Option to save watermarked files without keeping the original
We are product photography studio. Feature needed: add a checkbox for add watermark automation on folder and subfolder contents. Check box for "Save copy without watermark" or "Replace original". Now always we get a copy without watermark. Example: I need to show client a lot of photos in a big amount of folders and subfolders. And it works excellent if we do not need watermarks (we use share folder, disable download. But still client can download low resolution images with chrome "save image as..". If we need watermark, we create automation to add watermark to a folder. And as result we get file duplicates (with watermark and without it). So it makes no sense. Or we need to go thru all folders and subfolders and delete files without watermark one by one 🙂2.3KViews0likes4Comments
