Hi Michael, I'm afraid Dropbox, and OneDrive work just fine. I have a multitude of files, with all kinds of filenames. The problem starts with Gnucash: it refuses to save the file in Dropbox or OneDrive. I can make copies of the file in Windows Explorer, but I can't save the file from inside Gnucash.
