Why does the Uppercase Letters of my file name change to Lowercase

I have a file name "Northern California" that is shared to various people. It was automatically changed to "northern california" Why did the capital "N" and capital "C" change to lower case?

You all solved my issue. I was downloading two Filemaker Go databases from the Dropbox IOS app and the file names were changed to lower case.  This broke the external links and they no longer recognized each other. I was also unable to do an import onto a server database from the iPad. Deleted the files and downloaded from the web interface. Caps stayed.  Files worked. 

 

Thanks
