Restrictions on Filenames and File Types in FileCloud

Please note the following restrictions when uploading files to FileCloud:

• Files with the same name:

  • If you upload a file with the same name and the same case as another file in the same folder, it overwrites the file.

  • If you upload a file with the same name but a different case than another file in the same folder, you cannot upload the file and the File Operations window displays a file name conflict message.

  • If you upload files with the same name but different file extensions, like myfile.doc and myfile.docx, they are treated as different files.

• FileCloud cannot upload files with leading spaces in the filename.

• By default, files with the extensions php, php5, phar, and phtml cannot be uploaded into FileCloud.

For Admins
