If I rename this file (pe: replace ":" by a "-"), I have on file on my Mac, the good one (with a "-"). But their is 2 files on onwCloud repository: the old one and the new one.

If I reverse method (modifying file name directly on web interface) the symptom is also reversed. I have one file on owncloud repository and 2 file on my Mac after synchronization...
