Step 3. Upload your Vault files to new location - OneDrive Desktop App

For Mac users, we recommend searching and renaming any Vault files that contain any of these five special characters (?, *, <, >, |) to avoid upload errors with the OneDrive desktop app:

1. Open the SFU Vault folder on your desktop.
2. In the search bar, type in one of the special characters (e.g., “?”)
3. In the drop-down menu of the search bar, select Name matches: ?.
4. In the Search: field, select “download” (your folder name may be different).
5. The filtered result will display all the files with names that include the special character. Rename your files to remove the special characters (e.g., you can use hyphens or underscores).
6. Repeat steps 1) through 6) with the remaining special characters (*, <, >, |).

The safest method is creating a copy of your files for the migration. Here are some reasons to consider:

• If you have SFU Vault Sync App installed, moving files out of the folder will signal a sync action, causing the app to delete all your files from your SFU Vault.
• If the file moving is interrupted or becomes unresponsive, your files could be split up. Copying files will prevent this issue.
