    Hi @du-it,

     

    Unfortunately, these characters that aren't allowed in file and folder names in OneDrive for Business on SharePoint Server 2013:

    ~ " # % & * : < > ? / \ { | }.

    If you're a global admin or SharePoint admin in Office 365, see Enabling # and % Support on the SharePoint blog to learn how to allow these characters.
