File: android-deltas-sync/_etc/examples/basic-shared-storage/x-nonportable-filename-skips/_readme.txt

This folder demos what happens when nonportable filenames are 
propagated to Android 11 shared storage unchanged: such files
are skipped with error messages in the logs and tallies in the 
console zip summaries.  

On the PC side, what happens depends on your PC and proxy:
Linux will also skip nonportables with messages for FAT32 and 
exFAT drives; macOS will silently munge them to/from Unicode 
privates which may have later consequences, but this allows 
them to leak out to Android in zips where they fail in shared.

Takeaway: when propagating to Android 11 shared storage, you'll
usually want to run the name-fixer script in this use case, as 
the main runs of this demo do.

See also the Linux demo for a simlar effect in exFAT drives
on that plaform.

NOTE: this example was not regenerated under Mergeall 3.3,
so run logs may differ slightly with the current release.
