 * Is a great plug-in.
 * The only “problem” is that the plug-in renames the uploaded files, I need the
   files keep-maintain the original name when upload to the dropbox folder.
 * Any ideas?

 * This was by design due to people uploading images from digital cameras and overwriting
   files that were previously uploaded. Since dropbox does not auto-rename files
   that are preexisting in the account, I don’t have plans to change this.

 * Is there any chance we could be given the option of choosing how the files are
   re-named. For instance, I would really like to enforce a particular naming schema
   where I ask the visitor to provide their name and email address and then I’d 
   like to rename the file based on that.

 * [@rpyles](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rpyles/) I started implementing
   custom fields into the shortcode which I hope with be similar to what your requesting.
   The idea is that you set the fields in the shortcode and the contents of those
   fields get emailed with a link to the file on dropbox. This feature should be
   available in the next release.
