turkish character problem
if you have some of the turkish characters (like capital i in Turkish, which is İ) in your file name, dropbox do not synchronize, I realized it but it was too late, I lost lots of things... Please so...
Bence denebilir ama bu sorun senkronizasyon algoritmasında. Kolay kolay çözümleneceğini sanmıyorum. Ben Ağustos ayında bu konuyu açmıştım, aşağıda ki cevap ile birlikte kapattılar.
Hi Turker,
Thank you for contacting Dropbox Support. My name is Fedra and I'd more than happy to help you with your request.
This is actually because Dropbox works in a case insensitive nature on Windows and Mac OSX (both OSes are case insensitive). So when Dropbox tries to write the file, it uses the lowercase version of the path/file name, however with İ, there are no case insensitive equivalents and so the files are unsyncable.
We don't currently have a good solution for this, so to get your files syncing you'll need to manually change it indeed, using lowercase characters.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know. I would be more than happy to assist you further.
Sincerely,
Fedra
