Not sure I know how to use that.

Do you fire it out of a first function like you did with the other pair of them, in the other thread? (per that thread, I’m already using upload_prefilter to change the upload directory for this Image field; I also want to rename the file).

I modified my working code but it doesn’t work for the renaming…

add_filter('acf/upload_prefilter/key=field_6140a6da30a17', 'prefilter_avatar_upload');
function prefilter_avatar_upload($errors) {
    // This one added, but doesn't work, unsure what to do
    add_filter('wp_handle_upload_prefilter', 'avatar_upload_rename' );
    // in this filter we add a WP filter that alters the upload path
    add_filter('upload_dir', 'modify_avatar_upload_dir');
    return $errors;
}

    // (Old) second filter
    function modify_avatar_upload_dir($uploads_avatars) {
        // here is where we later the path
        $uploads_avatars['path'] = $uploads_avatars['basedir'].'/users/avatars';
        $uploads_avatars['url'] = $uploads_avatars['baseurl'].'/users/avatars';
        // $uploads_avatars['subdir'] = 'avatars';
        return $uploads_avatars;
    }

    // + Rename the file for saving
    function avatar_upload_rename( $file ) {
        $file['name'] = 'test-prefix-' . $file['name'];
        return $file;
    }
