    Hi @du-it,

     

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

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

    https://support.office.com/en-us/article/invalid-file-names-and-file-types-in-onedrive-onedrive-for-business-and-sharepoint-64883a5d-228e-48f5-b3d2-eb39e07630fa

    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.
