Filename with ":"

Hi,

 

I tried renaming a file in dropbox and the filename contained ":"(colon). Dropbox threw an alert message stating colon is not allowed in filenames. However, I am able to upload files with colon in its name via API. Is it allowed to upload files with ":" in dropbox? why is the restriction imposed on renaming alone?

 

Thanks,

Naga Abhinaya T.
