Random questions.

The file is being uploaded with a form. I believe it is a Google form, but that can be changed if need be.

Would not be able to ask the user to change the filename when they upload, it's a very broad user base, many of whom are technologically inept and already struggle with the basics of uploading a  file.

I think the question was if whatever form technology you are using could do the renaming.

[etech0]

I'm pretty sure you could do this with Zapier. Are you familiar with it at all?

I'm looking at the Google Drive actions and I don't se one for renaming files but there is a Copy File action which I believe lets you set a new file name. So you'd need a folder for the original files and then a new folder for the renamed files. You could have the zap run when a new line is added to the spreadsheet and use the info from that row to set the new file name.

Right, so my question is if this can this be done in Google sheets/forms? If not, what form technology does do it? (Wordpress is not being used)

Thanks! I'm not familiar, but I'll pass this on and hopefully it will do the trick

Good luck! Let me know if you need any tips.

Don't think I'll be able to learn Zapier today 😂

Seems like there might be an app for it

I know nothing about it, but it seems to handle exactly what you need

At a 2 second glance that looks great

Because the title is a statement rather than a question.

Is there an "random tech questions" thread? Or maybe this belongs in the Excel questions thread?

If one is setting up a form for people to upload files, is there a way to have the file name changed when it is downloaded, for example making the file name the name of the person who is submitting the form?

you can use the download attribute

Fellows, there are pro editors that read this forum. Please have mercy on them (whomever they are).
Or maybe, they shouldn't read DDF?

How is it possible to have a discussion about something when you have a totally different meaning of what is being discussed than the other person?

Impossible. You have to define your meaning and see if the other person is willing to discuss it using your definition or have the other person define it and use that definition for all purposes in the conversation, make sure not to slip back into your definition.

How about just yelling at each other for "thrashing" and "flaming" said term? And responding with one's own definition of said term? Seems to be working fine.

[CountValentine]

How about asking questions without any specifics and everyone knows what you are referring to.
What does that tell you?

I need an app for a team of people to post, edit, and organize notes. Must work on both Android and Apple phones, bonus if it supports PC as well. Any recommendations?
