Vista - Path too long

04-29-2008

I got a msg that one of my file has a path too long. The sync is forbidden.
But no more indication is given. I have 2000 files, very long to check.

I was able to however get all my file name and path into excel, and checked
the longest ones. Weirdly enough, all the longest ones are pretty old. So I
can't figure out what's going on.

Any suggestion?

Hi,

Currently FolderShare cannot sync files with a path/filename longer than 254
characters. If possible either remove the file or shorten the file path by
mapping the library to a shorter path.

Best,
Francisco
