    Hi there, 

    Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

    Your example should be okay when naming your folders in Box. What is not supported is using names with leading or trailing spaces.

    I also want to add the following information as a reminder of some limitations on characters/ symbols when naming your folders and files in Box:

    • Box only supports file or folder names that are 255 characters or less. File names containing non-printable ascii, "/" or "\", names with leading or trailing spaces, and the special names “.” and “..” are also unsupported. Box supports only Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) characters in file and folder names.
    • The file or folder's path on Windows machines should be under the 255-character Windows limitation. Folder paths that exceed 255 characters may truncate the content's name before uploading to Box.

    Thanks for posting and let us know how else we can help!
