    <description>&lt;P&gt;That sounds like something that would need to be implemented in the IFTTT code that connects to Dropbox, so I&amp;nbsp;recommend sharing this request with IFTTT. (We do have some &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/sync-uploads/files-not-syncing" target="_self"&gt;information on incompatible characters in the help center&lt;/A&gt; in case it helps.)&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Illegal characters in IFTTT tags</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm surprised that nobody else has flagged this, but a common use for IFTTT / Dropbox is:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;IF&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;some event happens or data becomes available&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;THEN&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;log or download it to a file in Dropbox, named for when it happened&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Most triggers include a {{CreatedAt}} or {{OccurredAt}} tag to allow this, but it's usually in a readable format like&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;April 7, 2020 at 01:31PM&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;or&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;07/04/2020, 01:31pm&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;This means that the created Dropbox files don't sort properly, and contain illegal characters for Windows. Could the Dropbox actions provide their own ingredients? Like&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;{{ISO8601time}}&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;2020-04-07T123100Z&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;{{FilenameFriendlyTime}} 2020-04-07_13-31&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;or at the very least, offer an option to sanitise incoming filenames to convert illegal characters to underscores&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
