Moving folders · Safety and verification
Do files with unusual names, emoji or very long names move correctly?
Short answer: Yes. Moves between your Mac and the fast drive keep awkward names intact — spaces, punctuation, emoji and non-English characters. Windows-formatted drives and some cloud services restrict certain characters, so a Mac-formatted fast drive is best.
Yes — moves between your Mac and the fast drive carry awkward file names across intact, including spaces, punctuation, emoji and non-English characters.
Where names can trip up is the drive's format and cloud services: a drive formatted for Windows, or some cloud providers, don't allow certain characters or treat names differing only by capital letters as the same file. Using a Mac-formatted fast drive avoids that.
