Do you remove spaces from folders and files names?

It is not a good idea to have spaces in a folder or file name as they don't translate to URLs very well and can even cause technical problems.

Instead of using spaces, we recommend:

Other not recommended options include:

CamelCase - using the first letter of each word in uppercase and the rest of the word in lowercase
snake_case - using underscores between words

This rule should apply to any file or folder that is on the web. This includes Azure DevOps Team Project names and SharePoint Pages.

Figure: Bad examples - File names have spaces or dots

Figure: Good examples - File names have dashes instead of spaces

Figure: Bad examples - File names have been published to the web with spaces so the URLs look ugly and are hard to read
