| - | Don' | + | The File Fabric covers a myriad of storage solution in addition to being able to be presented on files systems on a multitude of Operating Systems. There is no guarantee that naming conventions from back-end storage solutions will be honoured on end user file systems. |

| 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. | 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. | ||

| + | ## Desktop File System Compliance | ||
| + | |||
| + | As The File Fabric supports data that may already exist on a storage endpoint that data may not honour the data integrity semantics of the Windows / Mac / Linux operating systems. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Examples include duplicate file names, limitation on long file names, duplicate path etc. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This may lead to issues being able to access data through the drive as the windows / Mac / Linux operating system is unable to present it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If this is the case then consider using the File Fabric web interface or the Cloud Explorer Application for such files, and additionally if you intend to work with such storage from a desktop files system consider naming conventions that will not trip up the operating system (note this is only applicable to the drives not other self contained desktop applications). | ||
