Question Changing legacygetepub… naming conventions

I've noticed on my Kobo Clara that the ebooks that I sideload through Calibre on the desktop are sorted into neat author directories with an ebook name that's legible by a human. I'm assuming that Calibre is doing this organization because books I sideload manually by dragging and dropping into the root directory of the mounted Kobo drive sit at root with whatever name they had before.

However, the books I grab through the server all have the following naming convention like this: legacygetkepub1111my_server_namebook - author_1111.kepub.epub. Is there a setting in Calibre I can use to clean this up? Obviously, Kobo is grabbing the filename as is and downloading it onto the root directory. I don't expect the Calibre web server to change Kobo's downloading behavior. But maybe there is someway to shape the Calibre names to be less machine code-like? I've been looking, and if it's there, I'm missing it. Thanks.
