Onedrive also has a ton of other issues like not allowing various characters in filenames: # % * : < > ? / \ | "

As well as a maximum file size of 10GB and maximum total path length of 256 characters.

I was using onedrive for a while simply because it used to be by far the cheapest with 5x10TB for 60 Euro/year with the family pack which is now being reduced to 5x1TB for the same price.

But at roughly the same price as the competition and the windows integration seemingly not being very good either I can't see any reason to use onedrive apart from just getting it with Office365.

Most, if not all of those are not permitted characters on windows, which makes senese as that's their primary platform.

It's just odd that MS would use a Windows system to host files (or anything else) with all of the restrictions and limitations associated with Windows. Maybe that is the reason they over promised and under delivered. It should be common knowledge by now that unix based systems (Linux, BSD) are more efficient. There is a reason why 90+% of internet services are non-windows. Administrators don't just pick those systems out of a hat. I thought they figured that out and used unix based systems for under the hood for Azure.

# % & are permitted characters on Windows, but don't work on OneDrive and SharePoint/Office365

Win32 doesn't support: \ / : * ? " < > |

Not to mention dotfiles. They aren't permitted either.
