BUG WITH MULTIPLE FILE DOWNLOAD + character encoding for folder names
Hello! Special characters like German Umlauts get malformed when I download several files in once, packaged in a ZIP file. So, I would select 2 folders in OneDrive and the resulting ZIP file ...
Just a support ticket in the Office 365 portal
Exactly that does not seem to work and I notified OneDrive Support via Twitter about it. See attachment. They sent me here.
I guess this is running in circles. Do you have any touchpoints, contacts to carry this forth to?

Hi Mohammed,
You should be able to file a bug with support via the Office 365 admin portal. In the meantime, I'll pass this along to the team to see if there are any known issues here. Thanks!

Hi,
I am not using a Office 365 subscription personally but only a subscription for OneDrive. So I cannot use the admin portal for O365.
And within onedrive.com, it appears that filing an issue using Help > Send E-Mail for OneDrive support does not work. No confirmation e-mail, no response. If you could pass that on to the respective teams, that would be dearly appreciated!
And back to the encoding issue - it is an issue that can be replicated, I get this issue every time I have folders in the downloaded ZIP file with special characters in the folder name. That is not the case for file names, however - they are properly encoded and Umlauts show up fine. Only folder names are impacted. I bet there is a bug in some conditional check.
Cheers for looking into this and making a great product even better!
