OneDrive sync fails because of long paths created by CRM

Posted on by Community Member

Hi all,

we're using CRM 2015 on-premise with SharePoint online as a document storage.  We now ran into the issue that the local onedrive4business sync fails because of the path names being too long for the local file system. The long paths mainly result from the automatically added GUID in CRM.

The issue with long path and file names is well known to Microsoft but it seems there's no solution yet (even though it is a pain in the a..)

Anyone having a similar setup with the same issue ?? Any help or hint to work around this issue is very much appreciated !

Thanks

Martin

    For onpremises scenario's I don't think there is, or will be, a solution. For online, this should be fixed as the sync client now supports paths up to 400 characters. See: support.microsoft.com/.../restrictions-and-limitations-when-you-sync-files-and-folders

    Hi,

    Almost two years later we have the same problem. Did anyone ever find a solution for this?

    Thanks,

    Mats
