A "file path name too long" error in Microsoft Office or Windows Explorer usually means the total length of the path (including the file name) exceeds the operating system's or application's limit, typically 259 or 260 characters. To resolve this, shorten the file path by renaming folders or moving the file to a location with a shorter path.
What is a file path?
This is the file path name that leads to the files you have in your folders. For example, the following are 2 examples of a file path.
C://User/Demo/Client Files/John_Smith
C://User/Demo/Client Files/John_Smith/ING/929410/Statement_01.pdf
The file path name has a limit to the total number of characters it can contain.
It is possible to rename files and folders using a custom zip download, you can find those details in the guide below.
