Can one stop Trello from replacing spaces with underscores in downloaded file names?

When an attachment is downloaded from Trello, a PDF for example, spaces are replaced with underscores in the file name. For example, "HAAS 9A7601 REV 3" becomes HAAS_9A7601_REV_3." This obviously causes a file management and linking issue. We can't have the system renaming anything upon download.

Hi Joseph,

 

We currently remove those spaces to sanitize the file names to ensure that they will work as expected in all cases. I'll definitely let our team know that this is something you'd be interested in seeing though!

 

In the meantime, we'd suggest using a third-party file hosting service, such as DropBox, that does not remove those spaces.
