When uploading files with such symbols you should always take into account what's actually supported on storage side. The only current workaround is to rename these files.

Hi Edward, could you please specify the file names? Just for clarity

Trying to get them. She says CSV Export is not available in the Mac version. How can she copy/paste the file names (or complete error log) to send to me?

She also says a couple of files today get the message "File contain illegal symbol!" but she doesn't see any reason. So perhaps it's a misleading message. (Since she had to retype the message, I can't swear there's no typo in it.)

This backup is to Amazon S3. Is there a restriction on S3? I have not tried to look at the object names created by CBB, but AIUI there is no restriction on characters in object names.

Thanks,

Edward

Edward, if possible, please ask your sister to use the Feedback button in the top of the app menu, specify "for Caleb: valid file names forum" and hit Send.

Thanks in advance!

By the way, CSV Export and/or right-click-copy will be available in future at some point to avoid this.
We do have plans to improve user experience with the app.

done, ticket #87946.

Hi again.

Here it is, see the attached pic (not sure how the text will be shown here).

" /Users/nann/Desktop/Pages Documents/recipes/Pad Thai .pages "

The "spaces" are not spaces actually, but rather are tabs. I don't know how they got to the file names, but I doubt it was done for a reason. Other than that backup was absolutely fine.

Thanks, Caleb, I'll let her know. My guess is that the documents started with copy/paste from web pages, and then Pages suggested the title based on the start of the document. Just my guess though.

Edward
