Hi Bill,

I am seeing some of my folders and files name converted to All Caps intermediately and there is no specific action to reproduce this but happens every now and then. 

 Any suggestions to fix this issue?

Regards,
Venkatesh B

You are likely mounting the file system on a directory. Windows will unfortunately not respect file name case sensitivity and will send you file paths with mixed case. For this reason your file system MUST be case-insensitive when mounting on a directory.

Windows respects the case sensitivity of your file system when you mount it as a drive. If you have a case-sensitive file system, this is your only realistic option for mounting.
