 Files or folders that begin with a period will meta-sync properly but Mac, Linux, Windows operating systems may regard them as system files and hide them automatically. You may not be able to see them without modifying advanced settings on your PC.
+Also please be aware of other character issues that are not immediately obvious but can cause conflicts or issues such as trailing spaces in directory names for example.
+Also be aware of using characters that are not generally considered best practice, such as tildes(~)for example, which should not really be used in a file / folder, as on many file systems a file/folder name may contain a tilde within each component of the name that is too long to comply with normal naming rules.

 ##Case Conflicts
-Linux operating systems enable users to have two files or folders with the same name but different capitalization. By default, Mac and Windows do not differentiate file or folder names by case. If the File Fabric comes across files/folders with the same name but different case, it will show the first it comes across from an internal ID perspective. To enable full interoperability one of the files/folders should be renamed.
