Rename a file when it is uploaded to Box

■Overview

When managing files in Box, inconsistent naming conventions can make it time-consuming to manually rename uploaded files later.
Although renaming files manually is a simple task, it takes time and can lead to inefficient file searches and management issues.
With this workflow, file names are automatically updated as soon as files are uploaded to a specific Box folder, helping you eliminate these challenges.

■Who This Template Is For

■Benefits of Using This Template
