Special Characters

Tonido Sync doesn't sync some files with characters that are incompatible with some operating systems. 
Starting with Tonido Sync Build 18199 : Files with these characters are not synced.
Please rename them to something more suitable for use across multiple operating systems.

 

  • The * character
  • The < character
  • The > character
  • The : character
  • The \ character
  • The / character
  • The | character
  • The ? character
  • The * character
  • The ~ character
  • Files with two "." characters in succession

 

The following file names are also not synchronized

  • tonido.db
  • Thumbs.db
  • desktop.ini
  • Anything ending with .tmp
  • .tonidocache
  • Anything starting with Conflict_
  • sync.ico
  • .ds_store

 

Long Filenames or Paths

Windows Operating Systems only allows files and folder names of around 260 characters or less. So paths longer than those are not synced.
