I have a file that will not sync w/one drive. 'Contains characters that are not allowed'
I do not see anything suspicious in file properties.

Have you tried renaming the file to something else, then changing it back to the original name?

Nice! That worked. I'd like to know why onedrive won't take that file name...but I'm content to know that the problem is solved.
thanks!
