Hi dangvu2308, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Could you clarify how you're creating these folders? Is this via the automation feature, or are you manually creating them?

 

Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!

      If you manually created the folders, then there shouldn't be any extra characters added to the folders, unless you have another app or service that could be changing it on your computer. 

       

      Do you see any events regarding the folder name changes?

        Hi Jay,

        You can see that im using the Web Browser, so there shouldnt be another app that can affect the name of the folder. And also it only happens when I open on the Web browser, on the desktop folder the name path is shown normally.

        This is the screenshot for the events
