Hi Rich.
First, I agree that modification should not be done to a users files without user knowledge or consent and in my second post I reiterated that there should be an "option for automatic resolution".
For your point "Nothing is broken here." I would disagree. Look in my exaple case I outline the behaviour with folders when there is a file with an invalid name in it. As well when you have files with invalid characters there is no indication to the user that something is wrong, the only status is ":white_check_mark: Everything is up to date".
Also the "perfect solution" you refrenced was mentioned in my posts. It is not a solution at all. It only shows that Dropbox is aware of this issue but has only provided the user with the means to manually edit the name of each of the affected files.
