Hi @dsghi , the cause of this issue is a bug in NodeJS. They recently fixed nodejs/node#12737, and we're now waiting on Chromium/Electron (electron/electron#11570) to use a version of NodeJS which has the fix, at which point we'll upgrade to that version of Electron. Until then, you'll need to move the file out of your OneDrive folder before uploading.

How is this issue related to Chromium/Electron?

@steveesp Storage Explorer is built using Electron, and Electron integrates with a specific version of Node. We use that version of Node's APIs to access local files and upload to Azure. Electron has to publish an update in which they integrate with a newer version of Node wherein these issues are fixed. Then we have to update the version of Electron we use to get the fix.

A few of workarounds are:

1. Copy files out of the OneDrive folder, and into a file that you have fill control over. IE: D:\FileTransfer
2. Download Red-Gate's Azure Explorer, which doesn't have this limitation, but doesn't have all of the features that we are used to for the storage explorer.
3. Get the paid version of Filezilla, which includes filestorage, and use it for uploads.

Not perfect options, but an ok collection triage solutions.

There's also AZCopy.

I am using version 1.4.1 and this is now working for me.

Ack, correct behavior confirmed. Thanks!
