I work in a shared folder which is fine online. Synchronising this folder to my laptop doesn't work, despite the selective synchronisation settings. How to solve?

Does the name of the shared folder you’re unable to sync locally contain any of the characters listed here? Please have a look, and let me know what you find.
Keep me updated.
