Nico-Uretek, It depends on what you mean here. It's according Dropbox documentation, but NOT according standards. For instance, Dropbox (note the usage of Dropbox, not Dropbox API nor SDK) doesn't support all UNICODE symbols, but only those in Basic Multilingual Plane. 🤷 This is Dropbox core bug! Of course, the same results in impossible usage of surrogate pairs during JSON encoding - they are invalid according Dropbox API.
Do you use such symbols as file/folder names?
