Question 1

The file path is too long when I download

Accepted Answer

Fixing "The File Path is Too Long" Error on Windows

If the file path is too long or you can’t open the download and are receiving an error message, this is an error with Windows. By default, Windows uses a path length limitation (MAX_PATH) of 256 characters: Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces.

If you select Download All and choose the option to auto truncate the file names that should solve it. If not, please try opening the download closer to the root file. You can also use a service like 7zip https://www.7-zip.org/ to open the download.

Solution 1: Opening the download closer to the root file

If you get the error "The file path is too long" when trying to open a downloaded file, it means that the location where the file is saved has too many folders in its path. To fix this, try moving the file closer to the main folder on your computer (like your desktop or C: drive). This shortens the path and should allow the file to open without any issues.

Steps:

Right-click on the file you want to open.
Select Cut.
Go to your Desktop or another folder close to the main drive (C:).
Right-click and choose Paste.
Try opening the file again.
