File names and space names are being converted into different characters (such as “'” or “amp;”)
Question
File names and space names get converted to characters like “'” or “amp;”.
Answer
This is due to “escape processing.”
“Escape processing” is a common procedure performed for security (preventing unauthorized code execution)
and to include special representations or characters such as line breaks and tabs within strings.
While the following characters can be used in filenames or space names, they undergo internal escape processing (conversion to different strings):
‘ (single quote)
& (ampersand)
-
The following characters can be used in filenames or space names, but they will be internally escaped (converted to different strings).

-On the Fleekdrive screen, characters such as ‘ (single quotation mark) and & (ampersand) will be displayed exactly as entered.
-Please note that when referencing filenames from external systems via API integration, etc., they will be retrieved as the converted string.
