Valid characters for network share

Solution 1:

To add a bit of information, localized char, like é, è, à, etc.., in a share name can get non unicode compliant application to behave badly.

In example QuickBook will throw random error while openning a DB on a share with localized char.

As such I suggest to use non localized share name even if technically you can use them.

Solution 2:

Refer to the official microsoft documentation, pretty much all is allowed but slashes, angular brackets etc.
