Apple Mac file migration to Onedrive/Sharepoint

Question

HiWe want to move our Apple Mac files to Office365 Sharepoint.We thought we could just copy them onto the local Onedrive and&nbsp; they would copy up, however we have hundreds of errors.It looks like mainly due to incompatibilty in the supported naming conventions on the Mac and Sharepoint/Onedrive.&nbsp;Does anyone know of any tool we could use to migrate Apple Mac files to 365 Sharepoint that would help rename or resolve the issue during the move?&nbsp;Thanks&nbsp;

Hey&nbsp;Pn1995,&nbsp;Not a mac user, but i see your pain as onedrive won't fix the files automatically for you. I have heard of a tool on itunes called name mangler. There is way to do it via terminal as well but I would say use it with caution, testing out on a few files, as there is always a risk of ending up changing the file extensions while renaming files. Refer the following article for characters you need to rename :https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/invalid-file-names-and-file-types-in-onedrive-and-sharepoint-64883a5d-228e-48f5-b3d2-eb39e07630fa&nbsp;Couple of other post you might be interested in :https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/discussions/22747/script-to-fix-onedrive-file-folder-path-errorshttps://blog.thecodewhisperer.com/permalink/renaming-magically-with-zmv&nbsp;Thanks&nbsp;
