  • How can I set up "Find File" in Dropbox to recognize files of any name in a specific folder?

I want to use the “Find File” event within the dropbox app to look for a file under any name inside a certain folder.

I have it on a delayed timer for 60 minutes to check wether files have been returned from another member of the team, but you have to specify at least part of the name of the file. If the team member putting the file in doesn’t remember to name the file correctly, the zap will not recognise it.

Is there a way or a work around to have it come back with any file in there?

Thanks in advance,

Alex
