You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
I use emoji’s to help me find things quicker. I would like to add an emoji from the apple keyboard to the file folder name but when I click on rename and add the emoji it says “invalid folder name...the folder name contains invalid characters”. Here is an example I wish to change “Vehicles and DOT” folder to say “🚗Vehicle and DOT”
Please allow this.
Generic filename support should be a requirement to avoid edge cases. I just got a notification about a file that won't sync today because of this. Unfortunately for me if that file is missing from my other machines my whole system will not work. For my own files it is a hassle but I can rename them. But for files that other people provide me (via git usually) I don't have any control over their names.
Yes. This is really vital for me, as I'm beginning to use emojis to organise my files.
My whole filesystem is based upon emoji-named files to see in a gasp. The more time passes the more people are going to use emojis (younger more emoji-usedto-people). Please add this.
Some emojis are supported, and this is the worst. I never know which one will sync and which ones won't. As all the popular file systems support file names with emoji, it sounds more than reasonable that a file syncing app should.
I would appreciate it very much.
When you create your first Dropbox Paper document, the document is automatically named:
😃 My Paper docbut then when you try to interact with this document in the API, it's:
"name": "_ My Paper doc.paper",
"path_lower": "/_ my paper doc.paper",
"path_display": "/_ My Paper doc.paper",
Kinda a **bleep**ty way to advertise your own feature.+1
we want emoji support
I use emojis as tags in filenames with Obsidian but need Dropbox to support them
I also didn't know this was a problem until I started using Obsidian on top of my markdown files. Using emoji is a very user-friendly way of visually differentiating files from each other. It's terribly unfriendly to leave it up to users to figure out which emoji are supported and which are not. I would *love* this to work as I have been a Dropbox user for many years and would hate to go to (ugh) Google Drive or other alternative.
