Best Practices for Preparing Files for Upload to the File Cabinet
- When uploading files, include the file extension according to the file type. For example, PDF files must include the file extension, .pdf.
- Work with files of 100 MB or smaller. Note that various factors may affect the time it takes to upload and download files greater than 100 MB, such as network speed, time-out settings, and overall space limitations.
- Ensure the name of the file you upload is fewer than 99 characters including the file extension.
- Ensure that any File Cabinet files containing URL links use account-specific domains.
Unsupported Symbols in File Names
The following characters are not supported in file names uploaded to the File Cabinet. It is strongly advised
that even if these characters are permissible by your operating system, you avoid using them as they can
cause unexpected behavior when used on systems and browsers that do not support them. This is especially
important when adding multiple files to a ZIP archive, as these files cannot be pre-validated.
Also note that zip files containing file names with international characters are supported only if they meet the
following conditions:
- The file names of the zip entries are encoded in UTF-8.
- Special general purpose bit 11 (UTF-8 flag) is set according to APPENDIX D -Language Encoding (EFS)) paragraph D.1 and D.2 of the PKWARE official zip documentation.
