Characters to avoid in File & Folder names

As we use expand our use of Cloud services, like Dropbox, it is critical that we stop using problematic characters in our file and folder names.

 

We are encountering problems moving files and folders to Dropbox because bad characters have been used in the file/folder names. 

 

Characters to Avoid in file & folder names

/  \  *  !  <  >  [  ] {  }  =  +  "  '  #  ,  :  ;  ¢  ™  $  ®  .  (  )  ?

 

Also – please, no double spaces in the file/folder names and don’t end a file/folder name with a space at the end. 

 

If you want to move an item to the top of a list, just use the number 1 at the beginning of the file/folder name. 

 

Your cooperation is desperately needed on this. 

 

Thank you,

 

Victor Trombettas
