I have searched this but havent found the exact same issue
I am on a work laptop with Windows 7.
We recently changed our servers to be online only.
This means all of our drives are now through dropbox or something similar.
One drive has remained in my drive list.
Originally I had access to this drive but could not edit the files and folders inside.
Look but dont touch.
When the drive changeover commenced all of the information on this drive was transferred to the online drives AND an external hard drive. WHat wasn't noticed straight away was that about 150 file names were too long for either transfer.
I still have access to these files on one of the server drives for whatever reason.
But when I try to open or copy the files it crashes windows explorer.
Example of file name R:\ARCHIVE; OED Drive\Online Education\Online education department student files\Diploma student files\Yvette Fraser\C - BSBWHS401A Implement and monitor WHS policies programs to meet legislative requirements
I have tried copy and paste, cmd line, and several smart programs and I cannot seem to get these files to copy over or even move.
Copy and paste comes up with the file name too long error.
I can however copy about 2gb of other files from this drive without a problem.
The file name is definitely the issue as all other files and folders can be copied to another drive.
On copying the whole drive it comes up with file name too long for those files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
