Not able to save into my subfolders. Why?
Not sure this is the right category, however, I am not able to save anything into my 6th subfolder. Is there a limit?
Hi Megan, I am not the only one in the team having the issue, and its not for all the folders either...this specific one was an email saved as an attachment into the the folder, the file type is Outlook Message format - Unicode.
I can save it on other folders within drop box, but not into some subfolders.
I have attached the screen shot.

How long is the file name including the full path starting with the drive letter? Windows has a max path limitation of 256 characters (218 for Excel files), and this includes every character from the drive letter to the end of the file extension. For instance, the following has a path length of 91 characters.
C:\Users\Rich\Dropbox\Folder\Subfolder\Subfolder\Subfolder\Subfolder\Subfolder\Filename.ext
If you have folder and filenames that are very long, with many folders nested, your file path could easily exceed the limit that Windows has.
