Howdy all,
I'm looking to see if there is a way to restrict file paths to 254 characters in regards to Sharepoint folder and file name paths. As its been stated in this sub and elsewhere, File explorer has a limit of 255 characters for file paths when synching Sharepoint folders. We've informed users about this, but have turned into a broken record with telling them this as this always happens. Excluding bringing this up the chain (which we've done before), is there a policy or a way to automatically reject or restrict naming a file or folder convention when the character limit is set to a certain limit?
