Naming Conventions

File & Folder Naming Conventions

All file & folders stored in Trimble Connect use the concept of files and directories to access data stored on a disk, device or server.

Due to certain operating system (OS) file name restrictions, do not use the following characters in file names:

  • < (less than)

  • › (greater than)

  • : (colon)

  • " (citation mark)

  • / (forward slash)

  • \ (backslash)

  • | (vertical bar or pipe)

  • ? (question mark)

  • CHAR. (Characters followed by dot)

  • * (asterisk)

  • .. (double dot)
