File Naming - Special Characters and File Name Length

Answered
Request Demo

Two questions on naming Files (Files: Documents, Spreadsheets, or Presentations)

1) Are there any restrictions on using special characters in file names? Such as: !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_`{|}~ and characters with accents or other diacritics.

2) Is there a # limit to the characters for a file name?  (As an example, a common limit from SharePoint is 255 characters).

    Hi Helen Smith,

    Happy to provide some clarity here!

    1. From a filing standpoint, these characters aren't allowed for filing projects: ", ', <, >, and &.
    2. For file names, 255 is the limit.

    Hi Isabel, Thank you for providing this information & example screenshot!  To re-confirm: are letters with accent markings okay?
