if you have some of the turkish characters (like capital i in Turkish, which is İ) in your file name, dropbox do not synchronize, I realized it but it was too late, I lost lots of things... Please solve this problem..

This problem causes really big problem for us. Sometimes I forget and use İ on folder names but then when I discover it can not sync, ı try to delete or rename filename but somehow its reborn!!! So dropbox sync that folder but it done with problem. I can not figure out. As a professional user I really fedup about this. I think it time to say goodbye :(

Well, this is not acceptable. Capital "i" in Turkish (which is "İ") is a Unicode letter and iCloud supports this letter without any problem. If iCloud can, why can't Dropbox? This is an annoying bug among every Turkish user. I hope Dropbox will solve this soon.

Hi Demetrios, I've also lost lots of files because of this bug. It's really really stupid of dropbox to do something like this, and please don't say there is nothing to be done in this case because as a developer, I wrote lots of programs to deal this kind of staff. I recommended dropbox to everyone I know but not anymore. I'll move my remaning files as soon as possible.

Hi Kubilay, Better solution, move on to OneDrive/GoogleDrive or another provider that does NOT have a STUPID problem like this even though they DO WORK in a case-insensitive nature on Windows and Mac OS X :)

I agree, this problem should be solved asap, it shouldnt be so difficult for dropbox. I think it is a shame...

Google Drive, OneDrive, Windows, Macintosh, Unix, Linux all the operating systems that I know of and all the sync applications out there, all of them handle Turkish characters without ANY problem. And all of them are case in-sensitive.

"...it uses the lowercase version of the..."

If dropbox didn't try to convert to lower case when writing, there would be no issue. Why convert to lower case in the first place? Just copy the file/directory as is.

Its a big problem that dropbox does not sync the files which starts with "İ". I have seen a reply above who says dropbox sync files with lowercase and there is no lowercase letter of "İ". Lowercase letter of "İ" is "i".

Turkish is a widely used language in the world. I hope one day Dropbox supports the Turkish Language.

Windows and many widely used Cloud softwares support the Turkish Characters without any issues.

Thank you

@Erkan G. Rename the folder in the web browser to "delete". Wait for 3-5 sec. Then delete the folder in the web browser. Works for me. Folder name could be anything but i İ ı I

The problem still alive. I think you afraid to solve it because of to lost most users files, normally this shouldn't be hard to solve the capital "i" problem. By the way, year is 2016, but dropbox still not support the "Turkish Language"! Maybe you couldn't realized that size of the Turkish Market. Your competitors support the Turkish Language, why we have to prefer you?

@Demetrios, I am sorry to tell you that but your answer is not acceptable. Please think once more.

Regards.
