People often face this issue and describe it like that:

“Skydrive Says Path Or File Name Is Too Long. Removed The File Entirely. Skydrive Still Says Its Too Long. So it’s the same error, and for whatever reason, Skydrive doesn’t understand the file is no longer present.”

“I have an issue with Skydrive in Windows 8.1 Enterprise. During first sync with my SkyDrive account, Skydrive app generate a Problem: Files can’t be uploaded because the path of a file or a folder is too long. Go to SkyDrive website to move the item to a different location or shorten its name. Well, I go to my SkyDrive account and modify the filename with a short filename. The problem is the same.”

“A user added a document using SharePoint Workspace which had a long file name. On my laptop Skydrive presented an error about the file and stopped syncing. I renamed the file to get it back within the filename length limit but the sync didn’t restart.”

“The first library I tried to sync failed. The error message says that there is a file path/name that is too long. How is this resolved? Obviously, we cannot go through and rename thousands of files if their names are too long. What worked yesterday does not work today.”

And plenty of similar concerns.

Why this happens?

OneDrive has limit for the file names up to 256 characters. So every time when a name of the file or folder is oversized your synchronization process is corrupted.

After this user might receive message “The specified file or folder name is too long”.

Sometimes you can bypass this by restarting SkyDrive or rebooting your PC (if only oversized file is not located on it). But in most cases you cannot avoid a synchronization/upload failure after such kind of error message appeared.

But in spite of the MS SharePoint advantages, sometimes you can face “The specified file or folder name is too long” error message while creating a new document in SharePoint library or making a new folder.

When you copy a folder or file that exceeds the limit of 260 characters for the complete path and 128 characters for each single file or folder, SharePoint displays an error saying that current path is too long and this element cannot be created in the destination SharePoint.

By default, features are named [project name], [feature name]. This can create names that are too long after combining with the SharePoint system folder path.

What is “File Name Too Long” error and how to avoid it?

Sometimes we face the problem with OS limit for file`s name. When you try to save, move or rename file with characters more than 256 (260) – OS consider this file path as the part of file name (which it is not) that exceeds the limit. Then the “File Path Too Long” error pops up.

Check the list of most common “File Name Too Long Messages” below (you can face these messages when trying to remove, replace, copy or rename file or folder with long path):

• Cannot delete file: access is denied
• There has been a sharing violation.
• The source or destination file may be in use.
• The file is in use by another program or user.
• Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.
• Error Deleting File or Folder (error 1320)
• Cannot delete file or folder
• The file name you specified is not valid or too long. Specify a different file name.

At the same time not all messages are such straightforward. Trying to open, copy or make other actions with file or folder you can face different error messages like:

• Cannot Open
• File name is not valid
• Cannot Copy
• The file could not be accessed
• File name could not be found

The post A solution to File Name Too Long error appeared first on Path Too Long Utility.

Some programs are unable to work with long file names. WinRAR is one of them. Because total path and file name length must not exceed 260 characters.

Sometimes the file name is longer thus adding more characters to the extraction path. The reason is the extraction destination is a temporary folder that is too long.

Inability to work with long paths causes the “Long Path” errors like:

• The system cannot find the path specified.
• Total path and file name length must not exceed 260 characters

Basically a ZIP file is a compressed folder which consists of data that is suppressed at maximum.
So when you try to unzip a file it is primarily stored in ‘Users’ folder and then is moved to the destination you have mentioned or a default destination of extraction.

Software like WinRAR has set its location parameters in a way they to exceed 260 characters in length. That means: when the location distance exceeds more than the path specified – it shows error.

But there is a decision – we can resolve this error by using PathTooLong application. Using various methods it allows to avoid errors with long paths. Just download PathTooLong and browse to the file. Now you are able to rename, replace or remove file with long path in easy way.
