  2. Select the checkbox to the left of each file you want to rename.
  3. Click the "Rename" button.
  4. On the following page, enter a new name for each file you selected.
  5. Click "Rename Files" to save your changes.

Be sure your new file name doesn't contain any special characters, symbols, or spaces. File names can contain only contain upper- or lowercase letters, numbers, underscores, dashes, and periods, and cannot start with a period.
