Unsupported Symbols in File Names
The following characters aren't supported in file names uploaded to the File Cabinet. Even if your operating system allows these characters, you should avoid using them as they can cause unexpected behavior when used on systems and browsers that don't support them. This is especially important when adding multiple files to a ZIP archive, as these files can't be pre-validated.
Also note that zip files containing file names with international characters are supported only if they meet the following conditions:
-
The file names of the zip entries are encoded in UTF-8.
-
Special general purpose bit 11 (UTF-8 flag) is set according to APPENDIX D -Language Encoding (EFS)) paragraph D.1 and D.2 of the PKWARE official zip documentation.
When zipping your files, you should use a dedicated zipping application that supports these conditions.
The preceding information is applicable to the file names only, and isn't related to the content of the zipped files.
