Yes, there are certain reserved characters in PreVeil Drive. The use of the following characters are not permitted in files names in PreVeil Drive and mail folders

  • < (less than)

  • > (greater than)

  • : (colon)

  • " (double quote)

  • / (forward slash)

  • \ (backslash)

  • ? (question mark)

  • * (asterisk)

  • & (ampersand)

If a file is added with a reserved character in browser-view an error message will appear, however, the same is not true when using the local file system or a third-party application. Please be aware that files with reserved characters will fail to synchronize.
