The characteristics of a good file naming convention include clarity, consistency, and descriptiveness. A clear and descriptive filename directly informs the user about the file's content or function. For instance, a filename like "meeting_minutes_2023_Quarter2" immediately conveys that the file contains the minutes from a meeting that took place in the second quarter of 2023. This clarity is not just beneficial for individual users but is crucial in collaborative environments where multiple people access and work on files.
