Enable emoji and special characters in file names

Enable emoji and special characters in file names

Hi guys, not sure if anyone else needs files with odd characters / emoji in the filename synced.

 

Surely this could be a thing now...  OneDrive allows it, Google allows it.

I'm not in control of a lot of the files so "simply rename your files" isn't an option.

What are the chances of this actually happening some time soon?  I think i would benefit many

@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
