    DropBox never complains that the name of a file contains a special character — it just makes it work. I'm trying to move from DropBox to OneDrive and I'm told I have to rename 165 files?!

  2. Properly support the macOS file system (special characters, aliases, symbolic links, case sensativity, etc.)

  3. Generate a text file with the errors. I copied a directory with 6468 items. OneDrive loaded 6322. I do not know which 146 did not load.

    I'm dealing with 165 files myself. Who thought it was a good idea to make me have to rename 165 files one by one?
