We evaluated this previously, but have decided not to make changes yet given the user experience tradeoffs. If we get more requests of this, we can re-evaluate.

This needs to happen! This is one of the most annoying things about Box. If those characters are not supported by Box Drive/Sync, then why are they allowed on the web? All it does is create errors for everyone else and it is impossible to manage with hundreds of files/folders being updated on a daily basis by our employees.
