​​​Could not find a part of the path 'X' - FileSystem

Error Example:

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\SyncFolder\myFile.pdf'.

Cause:

This error occurs when the specified path, file name, or both are too long.

The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. If the fully qualified filename is 260 characters or more, OR if the folder name is over 248 characters, the Windows file system blocks access to the file/folder until it is fixed to be under the limit. This restriction is enforced by Window’s internal asset libraries that are used when handling files on the file system, unfortunately longer file paths are technically possible via UI, but handling them internally does not work.

Resolution/Workaround:

If this is Windows 10 / Windows Server 2016 operating system you can alternatively enable NTFS Long File Path support offered by Microsoft since the most recent operating systems. This article may also help: Windows 10: Enable NTFS long paths policy option is missing

If this is an older operating system the only solution is to shorten the paths.

Since this is a restriction forced by the internal libraries and not our product there is nothing from our end that can be done to work around this error.
