Where can I find more information about automations? I need basic information such as;
- What is an autom- ation?
- Why did Dropbox create them?
- How do people use them?
- What is especially useful about them,?
- What are some precautions, if any, to take in using them?
- What can a person do to get the most out of using automations?

Dropbox StaffHi margdoigh, have you tried experimenting using automations on your own Dropbox account to see if they satisfy your requirements?
Thanks for the suggestion. I have just looked at that option and feel uneasy using it. Is there a video tutorial I could watch to help me better understand how the process works? I wouldn't want to use it on live files and folders until I understand it a little better.

I'm afraid there's no video tutorial on this margdoigh
You could try the automations with a newly created folder for testing purposes though.
Let us know if you need anything else.
This is an exciting update, Derrick! The ability to set up multiple step automations, especially within subfolders, is a game changer for staying organized. I can see it making a big difference in workflow efficiency. One feature I’d love to see in the future is the ability to set up conditional automations based on file types or tags. Looking forward to trying out these new features! Thanks for the update!
