What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Basically, rclone creates the names of the symlinks with strange symbols because it does not accept accents (or so I assume), special characters like !&! start to appear in the name of the files when it is not the correct one. All my PC configuration supports UTF-8 because I have made sure of it, I have already tried several commands in rclone and everything remains the same

This is how rclone mounts them

Así es el nombre real de los archivos

let's focus on just one file.
if you download the file to local, does it look correct?

3

Yes, if I download it from Alldebrid it has the correct name

4

then i think rclone is working as expected.
rclone is encoding the filenames to be compatible with the webdav server

5

But how is that possible if when I download it from the alldebrid page it has the correct name and when I load the mount in rclone all the names are wrong?

6

pick a single file, post the name as seen from:

  • u: drive
  • alldebrid page
7

U drive: Ámsterdam
Alldebrid: Ámsterdam

The forum corrects it automatically

U drive: Ámsterdam
8

No one know why this happens?
