_Files reserved word? with Next Generation client
Hi Nigel
Im running the OneDrive Preview 17.3.6674 on MacOS Sierra and have no problem uploading folders with _ Just tested with a folder called: This_Folder_Will_Fail
Just asked my colleague with Window 10 - OneDrive version 17.3.6517 to create a folder called This_Folder and he has no problem uploading to OneDrive

Thanks Glen. The issue I'm seeing is specifically with using the word "Files" or "File" after an underscore following any characters
In the Next Generation client:
This folder works: _files
This folder fails: My_files
But when using the origional Groove client, both names sync successfully.
This came up as we are having users upgrade from the old client to the next generation client, and some are reporting that folders which have always worked with the old client are now failing with the new.
However Vasil pointed out that "files" is a documented reserved word in the KB he noted above, when using the old client. This is opposite to what I've seen (works in the old client but not in the new), but clearly its a combination to be avoided either way.

Hi Nigel
Just tested with a My_Files folder - No problem here
