I'm hoping someone can enlighten me as to a very strange thing that is happening with our SharePoint online site (o365) and OneDrive for business. &nbsp;I have approximately 18 users connecting to non-persistent VDIs provided by XenServer and Citrix VDI in a Box. &nbsp;A user created a document library on SharePoint online, copied files from a local server to the library from a (non-VDI) pc via Windows Explorer. &nbsp;Then she setup her VDI to sync to the SharePoint library via OneBox/SharePoint. &nbsp;Everything worked fine for a few days, but suddenly several documents were automatically deleted, and strangest of all; an Excel file was actually converted into a folder, and several files were moved into the strange franken-folder that was created automatically from the Excel file (screenshot attached.)<br />
<br />
I'm thinking this is some conflict between OneDrive sync/SharePoint and the fact that the VDIs are regenerated periodically. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
ANY thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated!<br />

Strange folder created by SharePoint from an Excel file.

I'm hoping someone can enlighten me as to a very strange thing that is happening with our SharePoint online site (o365) and OneDrive for business.  I have approximately 18 users connecting to non-persistent VDIs provided by XenServer and Citrix VDI in a Box.  A user created a document library on SharePoint online, copied files from a local server to the library from a (non-VDI) pc via Windows Explorer.  Then she setup her VDI to sync to the SharePoint library via OneBox/SharePoint.  Everything worked fine for a few days, but suddenly several documents were automatically deleted, and strangest of all; an Excel file was actually converted into a folder, and several files were moved into the strange franken-folder that was created automatically from the Excel file (screenshot attached.)

I'm thinking this is some conflict between OneDrive sync/SharePoint and the fact that the VDIs are regenerated periodically.
