You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Case sensitive file name support

Most Unix systems allow case sensitive file names. MyFile and myfile are not the same object. This causes troublesome collisions when copying files, particularly if the names are of directories which contain softlinks which depend on the specific pathname. Current behavior is to rename the file or directory to a different name.  That can cause problems.
