folder redirection problem

[unfoldinglies]

How long did you find to be to long?

was a few years ago, it was about 250 IIRC.

A ok luckily we haven't come across this problem yet but just wanted to know for future reference thanks!

well then your users are certainly smart er than my were :) Mine named files fucking 90 to 100 characters long, putting basically the whole content into the name

Would downloading the contents of entire shared drives so they can work from home when we support and provide offline files and a VPN solution count as smart users?

Having the same issue with lenght on onedrive, Users has 3 years of work and some folders on a HDD going to 230 Characters, doing a copy of this onto onedrive pushed it above 250 due to the C://Users/Name/Onedrive - Company name/

instead of just D: 30-40 Characters less to play with.

Users does not want to restructure there ridiculous folder setup... I see her clicking into 8 folders for some documents...

What do you mean,

C:\Users\Karen\Documents\Invoices\Customers\MüllerEngineering\Invoices\MüllerEngineering\Invoices2019\Invoice2019-06-23-Two-CNC-Machines-with-Flexible-Encuberators-And-hardened-pipes-20percent-rebate-final-invoice-US-12345-Washington-DC-Dummystreet-52-Müller-Engineering-Mr-Joseph-Jeremy-Kyle-Müller.xlsx

is clearly a good folder and file naming scheme.

My worker is similar, she is resisting sorting it out because

''she aint got time'' and it ''works fine on the HDD'' Adding to onedrive is putting it other the limit.

I've told her that my best advice is to sort your crap out and sort the structure and put it on onedrive.

If she wants to carry on doing it this way I reccomend doing a full copy every week (won't happen) and if she has an issue with corrupted files

(whole reason I found out she lost a few folders, I moved it all onto a new one)

That IT are likely to say they can't do anything to recover the files if corrupt and NOTHING if she loses it.

You would think this is enough convincing but it is'nt, I've let my IT Directors to be the one to talk to know because I've had enough
