Naming restrictions ensure that file and folder names avoid characters that can cause errors in the file system. For example, certain special characters, like / and , are not permitted because they are used by the operating system for specific functions such as directory separation. Adhering to these restrictions prevents issues when saving, accessing, or sharing files.
