Once Drive Special Character Sync
Hello, I'm using Office 365 and got One Drive Account with 1tb storage. I'm unable to upload files with special characters. Is there any way to enable special character ? Regards, Majid...

No, I don't think so, their invalid file names, so you would have to rename the files first. Here is the official list with more info - https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Invalid-file-names-and-file-types-in-OneDrive-OneDrive-for-Business-and-SharePoint-64883a5d-228e-48f5-b3d2-eb39e07630fat.

It depends on the special characters you are talking about...Microsoft added recently support to # and %...can you clarify this?
- Majid HussainOct 30, 2017Copper ContributorYes exactly, i'm talking about # % and $. It is not working at my end.
do i have to enable some setting to allow these characters ?- Brian ReidOct 31, 2017MVP
Are you using the OneDrive client, the OneDrive for Business client or the website to upload?
