On iPads I download  clip to Photos app and then save it to a folder in Files app.

Filename of saved clip is mangled with mac address of camera, date, time and words cam0.

Such filename is meaningless and unreadable.

Can this be changed?

Just middle part of  filename would be fine  - date and time only please.

Camera name can be set up on clip image  itself, in case aybody wants it.

 

Also filename should be made same way on Androids.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback on the filename format. As a quick workaround, you can manually rename the file after saving it to a folder in the Files app.
That said, I understand your request to have a cleaner filename with just the date and time. I’ll share this with our product team for future consideration.

I archive a lot of files. It is very troublesome, time consuming rename each file manually after it is archived.
