Hi,
I'm planning to move to French Polynesia for six months for a job related to a photography project, so I'll have tons of files to manage while I'm there. I’ve been using XYplorer for about two years now, and honestly, I’m not giving it up, but I have some questions about using it outside of Europe… not so much about the software itself, but more about the licenses, automatic updates, and especially UNC paths if I connect to local network drives with weird share names.
What worries me is the latency when downloading betas from Papeete (or even more remote islands), and whether my custom scripts will continue to run correctly with folders whose paths contain Polynesian accented characters… that can sometimes cause weird issues with character encoding. Has anyone ever used XYplorer in French Polynesia trip itinerary or in a Pacific region with somewhat challenging network conditions?
Can XYplorer be used in French Polynesia? Has anyone tried it?

XYplorer is widely used in East Asia, so I wouldn't worry about a couple of accented characters.
I have no idea about the expected network speed in French Polynesia, but that's not an XYplorer specific problem anyway.
