Question

I get this error when trying to publish on QGIS Cloud:

Name contains invalid characters
Traceback (most recent call last):

Try to save your project in qgs format and not in qgz which is a compressed format. It worked for me. Guess it is the extension or the fact that the project name contains two dots.
