Most characters in folder names and file names are supported with the following exceptions. If a file is uploaded with an illegal character, the software will either substitute any illegal characters in the filename with underscores, or reject the file/folder from import altogether. In addition, problematic characters, while not strictly illegal, can cause issues with encoding or workflows.
Illegal characters | Problematic characters |
---|---|
| (pipe) + (plus sign) < (less than) > (greater than) : (colon) / (forward slash) \ (backslash) ? (question mark) * (asterisk) . (period)* .. (double period)* \n (line feed) \r (carriage return) |
~ (tilde) – (endash) — (emdash) “ (double quotations) ^ (caret) % (percent) ! (exclamation mark) $ (dollar sign) , (comma) ; (semi-colon) ][ (square brackets) |
*Single periods are illegal in folder names, double periods are illegal in filenames.
