OneDrive will rename/move some files/directories - how to mitigate?

Help and Support

(not using the template as this is not currently a problem with rclone but maybe a solution exists within it or can be implemented)

I received the following email from OneDrive:

I use crypt so all my files are encrypted and some have inevitably long names. I just logged in to one of my OneDrives to find one file (or directory, not easy to tell at a glance) will be affected and moved, but it's not clear where it will go.

The absurdity of touching my data aside... what (if any) would be the best way to make this as painless as possible?

to identify the file, might try

  • rclone ls --crypt-show-mapping
  • rclone lsf --format=pe
  • rclone cryptdecode

download the data to local, fix it and then re-upload it.

Thanks, I didn't know this existed.
This made it much easier to identify which files they were going to change (MS put a spreadsheet in each affected OneDrive which showed which files would be renamed/moved).
