Can't sync to OneDrive - Invalid filename characters

Is it possible to rename the Files that password1 for windows uses so that Microsoft Onedrive will sync. Currently you get Sync Errors "The filename contains invalid characters". I don't want to use DropBox as I already use onedrive.

See attached file.

    .ws.agile.1password.write
    .1password.keys
    .ws.agile.1password.settings

    Maybe I'm trying to sync the wrong files ?

    @Tony Stark‌ My advice is to exclude these files from OneDrive Sync (if possible)

    so which Files need to by synced or backed up?

    I would guess that it's the filenames that start with a dot. Windows does not support this. IIRC, those .settings files are legacy files that are needed by older versions of 1Password and possibly the mobile apps. The v4 Mac and Windows clients do not need them so you can simply not sync them.

    Exclude any files that start with a dot from the sync.
