Allow me to rename my onedrive folder name. The nomenclature "OneDrive - Your Company Name" is unnecessarily long
The file path limit of 256 characters is very limiting and annoying in and of itself. It is crazy that the mandatory folder name for the OneDrive for business folder is "OneDrive - Your Business Name". For my business, this adds on almost 20 characters! I already have a cloud service and when I tried to drag my folders over, many files will not sync simply because of this long folder name. I am forced to go back and re-work my folder and file structure.

I support it strongly. It's beyond my understanding why you would want whitespace in the folder name and it breaks a lot of scripts and other things. Annoying.

I support this strongly, legal organization names usually ar long, but internally use a shorter name. A configuration field to specify organization name to appear in onedrive and sharepoint root folder is a must.

I support this strongly. Having spaces in the folder name makes it almost unworkable in some systems.

I support this request strongly.
However, the vote-button is inactive -

This was suggested more than 4 years ago and it has not been implemented. Very disappointed with Microsoft. The spaces in the folder name caused so many problems for my scripts and GIS programs. Please please fix this. Thanks!

Is the fix for this to just not allow people to vote for it?

I cant vote, but I agree with this suggestion. I want to rename my OneDrive because using the default folder name as an input folder in my scripts doesn't work, because of the spaces in the name.

Tagging to this - control of this main OneDrive folder also for size. So can set the size of this folder to say 100MB and force people to use SYNC folders to Sharepoint and then not to use this folder as their personal network and files NEVER get placed on proper Sharepoint locations or on the network.

this is unacceptable. Changing to Google Drive.

I'd also like to allow the folder name to be changed for multiple reasons. Unfortunately I can't click on the Vote button so I hope this counts

My company just switched over from using Google Drive (which allows you to use any name) to One Drive. A lot of the tools that I have on my system need a path without spaces not to mention all the work changing all my configuration values over for EVERYTHING. This is unacceptable, please fix this bug

I concur! Not a fan of long folder names. I am forced to not use OneDrive. Back to managing my code on my Lap Top and Desk Top.

Why Windows would even allow spaces, to begin with, is beyond me. We need the ability to remove all white space from the folder name.
