I had a problem uploading a photo today. The colons are added automatically by an app on my phone which I use for adding annotations.

I'm asking for this to be changed on the forum as it's generally a difficult task to rename files on a smartphone without installing a file manager. And even then it can be a tedious process.

I would rather see the colons either stripes out or replaced with something else such as an underscore; anything to allow the file to be uploaded without me having to go and change the name and go through the process again.

Well... your phone is allowing the use of invalid file names since it is allowing colons in the file names.

Go ahead and try sending a file with colons in the name to your email and see if it will let you put it on your computer.

Windows certainly doesn't allow certain characters in the filenames... such as:
\ / : * ? < > |
