SkyDrive / OneDrive Upload Failed

Hi. I have been using Boxcryptor with Dropbox with no issues. My company is switching to OneDrive and I have reconfigured Boxcryptor but I'm having an issue with the uploads completing.

I am seeing all the normal files with the .bc extension being uploaded without an issue but OneDrive is throwing upload errors for all the hidden .rid.bc files claiming that there are "invalid characters". After playing around it seems that OneDrive won't upload files that start with a period.

Is there any workaround in order to get this to work properly? My concern is that if my folders are missing all those .rid.bc files I won't be able to sync up another PC or decrypt the files that are currently sync'd up to OneDrive. Thanks in advance for the help.

It appears that the failure with files starting with a period is specific to SkyDrive Pro and may not be an issue with the regular SkyDrive since they are apparently build differently under the hood. At this point, it looks like there is no way around that as some further research shows other people having issues uploading various types of Adobe files that start with a period.

I guess my new question would be, is there a way to allow Boxcryptor to use a different file name so that whatever data is in the .rid.bc file isn't lost and will synchronize properly?
