The one hard restriction is you cannot use the colon character. Now are there any characters you should avoid using in file names? Well, it turns out in macOS you can use almost any character you want. It tells you what's in the file before you open it. But if you did want to use something long, like this, it could be useful because it includes a lot of good information. So for instance a short file name is fine. But don't be afraid to have file names that are 20, 30, 40 or more characters long if there's a lot of information you want to include in the file name. So you definitely want to keep them short. I mean, if you have to read to the end of something that is more than 200 characters just to see what's the difference between one file and another, that's probably going to be pretty inconvenient. You probably don't want to use a file name that long. So how long do you think Mac file names can be? Can they be 32 characters long? More? Well, it turns out they can be up to 255 characters long. There are some things you should know about file names though and also some useful techniques. In macOS you can name your files pretty much whatever you want, within reason.
