How can I identify long file paths in the Dropbox folder in Windows?
New to DropBox admin here and looking for a little help...
I'm trying to identify file paths that might be too long for Windows explorer to handle (my team have gone nuts with the sub-folders!)...

Thanks Jay. As an example a common file path of ours (minus the user specific info) would look something like... Team Folder/Clients/Client AN Other/ followed by several subfolders containing different categories of info.
When I've spot checked a couple of them on the Team Storage report (excel export) not all of the subfolders are listed e.g. Client A has 7 sub folders but only 2 are on the report, client B has 4 sub folders but only one is on the report. And it doesn't always cut off at the same level i.e. some lines on the report go to 7 folder levels whiles others stop at 3 (when we know there are more)
