FileName

Mozenda publishes files to Dropbox using the following naming convention: [agent name]–[view]–[Date: yyyy-MM-dd] unless otherwise specified in the File format settings.

Overwriting your file

If the same agent gets published to Dropbox multiple times on the same day, it overwrites each time, resulting in only one file for that day on Dropbox. You can access each individually published file via the file history, where each version of the file from the same date is published separately.
