Enable emoji and special characters in file names

Alas, nothing too definitive; I wish I had more encouraging news.  There is some upcoming work being done to support some of the characters seen in, e.g., Mac filenames which cannot be expressed on, e.g., Windows;  but that is not the full-on "support anything in a filename" that I think you're inquiring about.  (I'll take the bullet:  I had the impression that this work would support what you were asking about, but I was wrong.)

Full-on "support all the things in a name everywhere" is quite a bit more invasive as it needs at its core a character set upgrade in our underlying systems, and then plumbing through the rest of our code to support that more extensive character set.  I'd characterize it as envisioned-but-not-imminent.

hi again guys, any news on this feature at all? 

best

@billgdbx 

thank you so much for acknowledging.  I know you can't give ETA's but are these things typically stuff that gets actioned?  and if they do is it weeks or years typically?

thanks for your time

That is great news billgdbx!

It will be very much appreciated by both Dropbox and Boxifier users.

Thanks,

Razvan

We've been actively working on this improvement here.  I can't share ETAs but wanted to let you know we're on it.
