Although the characters may look the same, they are not the same to operating systems and Dropbox. In some instances, there are several ways to create the same character on your keyboard. The official account from Dropbox help is:

dropbox is not installed under windows VM). bak files (running windows through Parallels and have dropbox folder set up as a shared folder, i.e. pdfs (could be that they were also saved by LibreOffice, don’t remember, I cannot replicate it using Preview) and LOTS of windows AutoCAD 2009. P.S: The fact is that it’s not just LibreOffice, there are also a couple. “save as…” the file using filename “amélie amélie” (just add a space and a second “amélie”, do not overwrite the default filename) Open the file by dbl-clicking on the Finder Save the file using filename “amélie” (é entered by alt-e+e) I’m in touch with dropbox support as well, so getting a bit more technical here: Hello, back again with a way to replicate the issue. This issue has been happening on two different Macs, one running 10.5.8 and the other running 10.8.5. I have gone so far as to downloading all my dropbox files from scratch by completely removing dropbox from my machine and reinstalling with a different dropbox folder target.

Since LibreOffice is the only application so far on the Mac that brings forward the issue, do you have any ideas of how I could avoid it? I have found reports regarding the above-mentioned dropbox filename suffix from non-English latin speakers, who are using suffixes on their filenames (that also triggers unicode filenames), however these reports don’t seem LibreOffice related they don’t say anyway…ĭropbox support replies that it’s a normal behavior of dropbox that take over when a filename is entered in some way other that normal keyboard input, thus producing some other form of unicode filename that dropbox doesn’t like and it add the suffix so as to protect from data loss or whatsoever. Sometimes, LibreOffice reports that it’s unable to save the file, because (the now to be created) file cannot be found. I then have to edit through the Finder and remove the suffix. Almost every time I open one of those files and use the “save as…” option to create a copy from within LibreOffice, dropbox add the “(unicode encoding conflict)” suffix on the filename. over 3 years old saved in my dropbox folder. I use LibreOffice and Dropbox under OS X, dealing with filenames in Greek characters (that’s pure unicode in the filenames). However, a few nonths ago, a certain issue emerged that’s giving me headaches: Both have been working smoothly for a very long time. I have been using LibreOffice since the beginning and Dropbox since it too came out.
