Cross platform: character sets and filename limitations

On the same topic, there’s another scenario you want to be aware of that does cause genuine data loss - having files file.txt and File.txt on a Unix box (case sensitive file system) and syncing those to a Mac or Windows box (case insensitive file system). This has a higher priority in my mind but is unfortunately also a bit tricky for various internal technical reasons.

Yes you are right. There are too many platforms out there So much work and workarounds needed everywhere. I would like to teach users to behave in certain ways if syncthing would also help in this matter. Tell syncthing user then more prominently that he is doing it wrong Maybe they will all learn to avoid the common problems and shortcomings of the industry.
