The problem happens for me on three different chrome devices (toshiba chromebook 2, acer cb3, and hp chromebox).  I've been trying it periodically over time, hoping updated version of the program would get it to start working, but still no luck today.

are you using something like samba share to connect ? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/file-system-for-windows/mfhnnfciefdpolbelmfkpmhhmlkehbdf

Yes!  We are using that as well.  Is there a conflict with it?

This appear to be the problem with the app not able to handle spaces. You will need to fail a bug against app owner.  Where possible don't use spaces or any special character in file name or directory name.
