# Dropbox - Move/Rename file action

This action allows you to move or rename the existing files in your Dropbox instance.

To rename a file/folder, change the file/folder name at the end of the path, for example, folder 1/file 1.docx to folder 1/file2.docx.

To move a file/folder, change the path to that file/folder, for example, folder 1/file 1.docx to folder 2/file 1.docx.

Modified Date/time the file was last modified.
Client modified time This is the modification time set by the desktop client when the file was added to Dropbox. Since this time is not verified (the Dropbox server stores whatever the desktop client sends up), this should only be used for display purposes (such as sorting) and not, for example, to determine if a file has changed or not.
