Community ManagerEmojis in filenames are finally here! 🥳
Hey everyone! We’ve got some exciting news - Dropbox now supports way more characters in filenames and folders! Emojis are now supported across all surfaces, and it’s available to everyone! That mean...

Super User III am still having some trouble syncing my files that have emojis in the file name.
What is the filename length, including the full path starting at the drive letter? For example, the following would have a filename length of 98 characters, including the extra null character at the end.

Hi Rich
Here is an example with the filename length of 71 characters including extra null character at the end

Thanks for that. I was wondering if you were hitting the filename length limit that exists in Windows, and emojis complicate that as they count as two characters each.

Just to check, could you try removing the null character at the end of the file name to see if this helps?
Alternatively, have you tried enabling the flexible file name feature?
Removing the space does not change anything and flexible file name is already enabled.
