Problematic filename pattern characters

Tobias Kaminsky edited this page Mar 15, 2022 · 2 revisions

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
