Re: Enable Emoji in file names. - Status changed to: Delivered

Hi Emma​,

Great news that Dropbox core starts support full unicode code points!!! 👍 Congratulations! 😉

I hope it wouldn't take so long (6 more years) to adapt your applications to support sync files named in such a way...??? 🧐

Currently, when I name on the Dropbox web some file in such a way, the same file disappear locally! The same when I rename some local file - the same file disappear on your web page (and on the Dropbox server of course). 🤷

I hope this is object of improvement already...

Have a nice day.

    Hi radical_exponent​,

    Thanks for nudging me. 😉

    Yes, you are correct, last version supports the provided feature. v234 was not available at the time I posted my last post. That's why I tried to nudge you. 🙂 Fortunately, it was meaningless.

    By the way, v233 and earlier don't support symbols outside basic multilingual plane. I checked v233 (just before previous post of me) and it didn't work! Restart only is NOT enough - I checked!

    Anyway...

    Thank you.

    Hi Здравко​ - can you try updating to v234 (the most recent stable just released) and try restarting the client? The desktop client was the last component to get updated for this, and it's possible this was caused by being on an older build (or even perhaps just needing to restart the client after we turned on the desktop client gating, literally yesterday).
