For example, a file with name "Upload (2018-09-18T13:05:15.112Z).jpg" will fail to open on Windows.

If the file is renamed (directly in mongo), to "Upload 2018-09-18T130515.112Z.jpg" it will open fine.

Likely due to the unescaped characters, which Windows will have trouble with.

I think a reasonable solution would be to either escape these characters, or else simply strip them from the downloaded file name.

Thank for your bug report. We will fix it in the next release by sanitizing the filename.
