    Path too long

    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
