File and Folder Naming Conventions

Occasionally, servers and multimedia programs run into problems when file and folder names contain spaces or special characters (#, ?, ", /, @, &, etc.)

To avoid these problems, only use the following characters when naming files and folders:

  • Lowercase letters (a-z)

  • Numbers

  • Hyphens (to be used in place of spaces)

Example file name

this-is-a-file.WAV

Note: Don't change file extensions (.WAV, .docx, .JPG, etc).

Example folder name

folder-name
