UNIX-like systems hate it, and most web services are running off of Linux systems.File name spaces aren't impossible on UNIX systems, but they make things more complicated.Alternatively, you can just use imgur. Using sites like Dropbox and Google Drive to post images is just dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
