Need to see if your shared folder is taking up space on your dropbox 👨💻? Find out how to check here.
I use emoji’s to help me find things quicker. I would like to add an emoji from the apple keyboard to the file folder name but when I click on rename and add the emoji it says “invalid folder name...the folder name contains invalid characters”. Here is an example I wish to change “Vehicles and DOT” folder to say “🚗Vehicle and DOT”

I've run into this issue trying to sync an Obsidian vault. And, by the way, using emojis is a really nice way to sort your stuff! It's unbelievable that this is still not supported in 2021.
Will probably have to use another cloud storage to sync Obsidian vaults, and then, maybe, everything else as I plan to use emojis more actively.
+1 to full Unicode support.
I'm syncing thousands of files and some of them contain special characters. Many of those files were created by external programs (for instance, saving a webpage as PDF for later) and I'm being forced to update eeevery title because of this.
I had no problem with iCloud, which just allows you to upload "anything you can have in you disk", as expected.
I also didn't know this was a problem until I started using Obsidian on top of my markdown files. Using emoji is a very user-friendly way of visually differentiating files from each other. It's terribly unfriendly to leave it up to users to figure out which emoji are supported and which are not. I would *love* this to work as I have been a Dropbox user for many years and would hate to go to (ugh) Google Drive or other alternative.
I use emojis as tags in filenames with Obsidian but need Dropbox to support them
we want emoji support

When you create your first Dropbox Paper document, the document is automatically named:
😃 My Paper docbut then when you try to interact with this document in the API, it's:
"name": "_ My Paper doc.paper",
"path_lower": "/_ my paper doc.paper",
"path_display": "/_ My Paper doc.paper",
Kinda a **bleep**ty way to advertise your own feature.Dropbox will not sync most of my files with emojis in their names (now over 4,000). The emojis were not put there by me -- but by people who sent me email. I know Dropbox is aware of the issue. But many other backup services don't have this problem. I love Dropbox and would hate to have to switch. But I need file names with emojis in them to sync to dropbox. So do a lot of other people. Let's fix this, please.
Some emojis are supported, and this is the worst. I never know which one will sync and which ones won't. As all the popular file systems support file names with emoji, it sounds more than reasonable that a file syncing app should.
I would appreciate it very much.
My whole filesystem is based upon emoji-named files to see in a gasp. The more time passes the more people are going to use emojis (younger more emoji-usedto-people). Please add this.
