Some clients' filesystem have limited filename/characters allowed. We document here on which OS/device which pattern/characters are not allowed. When any client is automatically creating a new file (e.g. via camera upload feature on Android Files/Talk), please make sure to only created allowed filenames.
Android:
- "?" at end
- ":", "<", ">"
Windows:
- " " (whitespace) at end of folder name
- "." (dot) at the end of a file/folder name
- "" as part of folder/file name
- "/" as part of folder/file name
- ":" as part of folder/file name
- "*" as part of folder/file name
- "?" as part of folder/file name
- """ as part of folder/file name
- "<", ">" as part of folder/file name
- "|" as part of folder/file name
