Hi all, Im trying to figure out how to force a filename change using the standard upload or download functions to //s3. It doesn’t matter when the change happens, as long as the filename is set to the correct name when downloaded by the client. So somebody uploads a file with a random name, say: WZXY.txt, and when someone downloads that file the name will be corrected to, say: ##-XYZ.txt Many thanks! ---

What’s your workflow to download the file? I’m fairly sure you can dynamically set it there depending on what file download plugin you are using. ---

Thanks for the reply, Its pretty straight forward, there’s an upload button, which disappears after user ‘A’ uploads the file, a link takes its place so user ‘B’ knows its available and downloadable as needed. The file is associated with a specific record in a table. When retrieved, the files name needs to have a certain naming convention, which is a concatenation of several columns in a table. I’m aware that I could just reject the file if the name is not correct by deleting after upload, but I don’t want to go down that road as I have reluctant users. I need it to be pain-free so they can upload the file with any name knowing that it will download with the correct name. Hope that explanation is coherent… ![help](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/6/4/64db207b00e6560129d58ef99e7b6902ec3a14d4.png) ---

Sounds pretty straightforward 🙂 I more meant screenshots of your actual workflows set up in bubble 😉 How are you uploading the file? Through bubble’s file uploader element? I’d set the file name after upload by using the ‘a Uploader File is uploaded’ action ---

Hey, I don’t seem to have that action available to me ☹ ![help2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/c/3/c36cc5576f4c9822b13182678e4afc706079cdee.png) ---

So it appears you are using EzCode’s plugin not the bubble file uploader. I’m not familiar with the plugin but check out the plugin page is here [Base64 File Uploader & Downloader Plugin | Bubble](https://bubble.io/plugin/ez-file-uploader-1563788967815x673444000197247000) And it looks like you can set the file name dynamically on upload ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/d/9/d9cb2acad463c448c7e8146fab5e2c2f9cdac663.png) ---

Hey thanks, yeah I’m not actually using the EZ uploader, its just in the list as I was trying other ways and it didn’t seem to work as I wanted, but ill give it another go. ---

The so called EZ uploader makes no sense to me. Where/when is the actual prompt to select a local file? The ‘contents’ field as you have it is just referencing a multiline field. Im trying to upload specific file types such as PDFs etc. ---
