MS Word corrupt files on MyCloud when retrieved

[TrafficProducer]

MS Word corrupt files on MyCloud when retrieved.

e.g.

secondary files backed up by MyCloud

Files are stored with the latest file but also with secondary backed older files up by MyCloud 

So that older files can be retrieved if needed, before any editing has taken place, a mistake in the latest file has happened.

These are given a ~  (a tilde), character at the start of the file name on MyCloud e.g.

~$ad glass as 3D printing build platform.docx

When retrieveding these files MS Word does not open them, MS Word returns and error even if the tilde character is changed to a normal character.

Is there a fix?

Those are not backup files, and they don’t stand alone.
