Illegal File Name Error

Hi, please assist for this error.

Not%20Allowed

Hi @likomgc,
When this error occurs it means that odrive is trying to write the placeholder file to the local system, but it getting an illegal character error. In this case it may be a trailing space in the folder name (a space between December and .cloudf). Can you double-check that?

If that isn’t it can you send a diagnostic report from the odrive tray menu?

Just send the diagnostic report.

Hi @likomgc,

There are currently 3 items that are not allowed:
Cannot write to filesystem. Illegal character in Social Media - Content Calendars / Planning.cloudf
This folder has a / character in it, which is not allowed by Windows.

Cannot write to filesystem. Illegal character in 12. December .cloudf
This folder has a trailing space in its name, after December

Cannot write to filesystem. Illegal character in 10. October .cloudf
This folder has a trailing space in its name, after October

To correct these, change the names to remove the illegal characters using the odrive web client or the Google Drive web client.

Hi Tony,

Solved, thank you very much.
