- Hey AntennaMan!
Thanks for following up with us!
It looks like this is not a Dropbox specific issue, and it's appearing with other cloud programs as well.
Now, it'd be wise to note, that since this isn't an issue caused by Dropbox or pertaining just to us, we're not able to provide a precise solution.
I'd definitely suggest checking in with Microsoft about this, as well just to make sure you've exhausted all options and to also let them know about this.
Give me a nudge if you have any other questions!

If you can't fix it, tell us.

- Hey everyone,
A partial workaround I've been using is Bulk Rename Utility. It's a powerful app that functions basically as the name implies. If you need to make a lot of specific/similar edits to file names, this avoids the Dropbox issue. You can download it here: https://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/
It's free for personal use, but requires a paid license for business/professional use.Also experiencing the same issue, have been for years. If I can help in fixing this, please open a ticket for me.
