Move File | error with max. characters of file name

[otico (John Michael)]

Hi @Markus3003,

Have you tried the following solutions?

• Alternative 1: Enable (set to 1) LongPathsEnable in Register editor.
  Follow the instructions from this link: How to change the default 256 character path limitation (MAX_PATH) in Windows 10 | AutoCAD | Autodesk Knowledge Network

• Alternative 2: Using SUBST
  As @AkshaySandhu mentioned above you can mapped to a shorter path. Like for instance using powershell activty with SUBST command.

Example on how to use SUBST:

Like for example if the original long path is something like this: C:\Very Long Folder Path\Filename.pdf

SUBST W: C:\Very Long Folder Path

Now to move the file using Move File activity, and then you can set the input path to W:\Filename.pdf

To disable the SUBST command you can run SUBST W: /D

You can find the instruction on how to use the SUBST command from this link: DOS Command: SUBST
