There is nothing unusual about the folder or files within it, no special characters and no restricted files types. If we delete the rogue file which was created and upload the folder directly in SharePoint there is no issue. For now this is the approach I have asked the user to take.

I did note that the user has many subfolders and wondered about the URL length limitations but the files load when using SharePoint.

OK, no worries.

Also if permitted within your Org as I know some are funny about OneDrive for Business, but a quick and user friendly method could be the the Doc Library to be synched and then the Folders and Files uploaded by way of the OneDrive for Business sync client and File Explorer.

Also worth a check and not sure on the volume you are uploading as to whether it is worthwhile but check out the SPMT tool, it even now has a Teams option oh and its FREE!

Thanks
