UPDATE: We have released a new version that will convert the illegal characters into legal equivalents while still trying to maintain similarity to the original characters. Missing file and folders should be rarely seen after updating.

Some sources (especially Google Drive) allow characters in file and folder names that are considered “illegal” on some operating systems. When this happens, odrive can’t create the file or folder on the local system, so it is not shown.
You should see these items listed in the “not allowed” section of the odrive menu.
Typically this is seen with the following characters:
':'
'/'
'\'
' ' (leading or trailing whitespace)
'?'
'<'
'>'
'|'
'"'
This can also happen in the files/folders have characters or patterns that fall into our “ignore” list: Sync Changes
If you remove those characters the files/folders will show in the odrive desktop client.
