Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
The images in your first post here didn't come through, but it sounds like you're referring to using angle brackets in file/folder paths via the Dropbox web site versus the Dropbox API.
The Dropbox web site is a bit more restrictive than the API in this regard, e.g., since angle brackets are reserved on Windows. You can find more information on these restrictions here:

You may wish to have your app enforce this restrictions when using the API depending on the use case for your app.
