On the file server that hosts the shared folder, copy the file to its local hard disk. If the file-copying speed is unusually low (much slower than average speed), try to update the driver for your storage. If the issue still occurs, contact the driver manufacturer for further troubleshooting.
Let's determine whether the problem is caused by the DFS path. Try to use the UNC path instead of the DFS path to open the shared folder. Then, you can check whether the issue still occurs. This step can help you determine whether the problem is caused by the DFS path.How to determine the UNC path of the DFS shared folder:
If you compare the copying time for a folder that contains multiple files with the copying time for a file of the same size, copying the folder will always require more time. This behavior is expected. The more files that are in the folder, the slower the file-copying process.
The total length of a Windows pathname+filename is limited to 256 characters and Windows will not let you create anything longer than that. This is not an issue people run into often with simple files, but when unzipping files with long descriptive folder names, you can easily hit it. One of the situations where you can hit this limit is when you try to unzip, (extract) the electronic copies of some of our books. For instance, you may see the error like the one below:
1 Interrupted ActionAn unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file. The you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem.Error 0x80010135: Path too long
If you see this error there are several solutions:1) Instead of right clicking on the file to extract it, left click on the file to enter the zip directly. Then look for long folder names and make them shorter. Then close the zip file and extract it again.2) Extract the files to a shorter path, (for instance, you can extract the files to a USB drive) and then edit the folder names down for length so that they will fit several layers deep in your Documents folder.
When facing the "The file is too large for the destination file system" issue in Windows 10/8/7, you might get confused about why you would not be able to copy the file to your USB flash drive when there is sufficient free space.
Hi, I need to copy a folder to another folder and then work on files in it. The problem is that some files have really long names, and thus the path is longer than 260 characters. This makes the method FileIO.FileSystem.CopyDirectory crash. Is there any way around this issue?
Tons of Windows 10 users have reported the slow file transfer issue as above, either between two internal drives, an internal drive and an external drive, or between two PCs over network. The confusion part is that nothing wrong with the computer, any other operation could be done just fine. So what is the culprit that slows down the file copy?
So the other day, I was reorganizing some files on my computer, creating folders, that kind of stuff. Then, when I was moving some files into a folder, I get a message, stating that the resulting folder path would be too long. I was confused. I know that every single OS since DOS supports Long Filenames, yet Windows claims that the path is too long? Why does this happen?
So what happened when you were cleaning up your computer is that you had a directory with an already long path (either because the folder names were long, the file names were long, or both), and when you attempted to move one or more of those directories into another directory with a long path, the total length of the path name exceeded the 260 character limit imposed by the MAX_PATH variable.
Now the Y: drive is "mapped" directly to the folder. Since you have substituted most of the long file path with Y:, it no longer violates the character limit. You can now move the files out of this folder to a folder with a shorter file path.
Tbird on Win7Ultimate. Tbird often fails to copy sent messages to "sent" or "drafts" folder. Green progress bar works across to 100% then does nothing. This last time I left it overnight and still no copies to "sent" folder.
Check the settings for that account (go to Tools > Account Settings > Copies & Folders). Tick the Place a copy in, select Other then point to the Sent folder of the affected account. Do the same for the Drafts & Templates section. At the bottom, you can tick the box to get a confirmation message every time a draft is saved.You may also want to add Tbird's profiles folder to your security software's (antivirus program) exclusions list.
Sounds like something else is going on with your email account on the provider's server side and not Thunderbird. Who is your email provider? The fact that the delivery subsystem thinks your mailbox is full suggests this is a problem with your account's side of things. I'd get in touch with your provider's support team and have them look into your account's setup. Thunderbird has been saving copies of sent and drafts just fine here, as long as it is properly configured. Each email provider has there own settings of how sent items are handled. For example, Outlook.com, Gmail and Yahoo's outgoing servers automatically save copies of sent items in their respective sent folders, so in Thunderbird you disable those settings for those accounts or you may end up with duplicate copies of sent items.

For example, Outlook, Gmail and Yahoo's outgoing servers automatically save copies of sent items in their respective sent folders, so in Thunderbird you disable those settings for those accounts or you may end up with duplicate copies of sent items or failures to copy the message. The smtp server decides how to handle sent items. If you want a copy to be saved locally on your computer instead, then you should adjust Thunderbird's setting accordingly and point it to a local folder.
This is a huge issue where a large amount of data is being moved and it's no longer in the source location, but hasn't completed populating in the destination and there is no indication of where in the process the move is so the user and some co-admins think the data has been deleted and we have to wait "some time" before opening a support case.
Pairing this idea with the automation request of returning a Job ID that was submitted by another user. This would be great if for example you copy a large folder, and are wondering "is it done" before you can allow other tasks to be performed on the original source folder.
Storage limits depend on the Google account. Every Google Account comes with 15 GB of storage that\u2019s shared across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. When you upgrade to Google One, your total storage increases to 100 GB or more depending on what plan you choose. A shared drive can contain a maximum of 400,000 items (as long as they don\u2019t exceed the storage limit), including files, folders, and shortcuts.
While these are good options, depending on the amount of data you have to transfer, the process can take a long time from File Explorer. If you want to copy a lot of files faster and more reliably, you need a better solution, such as Robocopy.
If either the source or desination are a "quoted long foldername" do not include a trailing backslash as this will be treated as an escape character, i.e. "C:\some path\" will fail but "C:\some path\\" or "C:\some path\." or "C:\some path" will work.
Running Robocopy commands under PowerShell will add quotation marks to the options creating an "invalid parameter" error, [details], this issue is fixed in the latest version of PowerShell 7.2. In most cases you will find it easier to write a simple batch file and call that from PowerShell.
ROBOCOPY will accept UNC pathnames including long pathnames over 256 characters long. Even though Robocopy successfully copies such files, choosing a destination folder with a shorter name than the source folder, can avoid issues such as difficulty accessing the files with Windows Explorer.
For a Directory Symbolic Link, a Junction, or a Hard Link, RoboCopy /S (Copy Subfolders) will follow the source and copy the contents to a standard folder in the destination. For a backup program this is usually the desired behaviour.
To run ROBOCOPY under a non-administrator account will require SeBackupPrivilege (backup files privilege), to copy security information auditing privilege is also required, plus of course you need at least read access to the files and folders.
All versions of Robocopy will copy security information (ACLs) for files and directories, but will not copy ACL security changes unless the file itself has also changed. The /SEC /SECFIX options can be used to refresh any ACL changes even if the file/folder itself is unchanged.
Robocopy /MOVE or /PURGE can be used to delete empty folders by setting source and destination to the same folder, but this does not always deal with nested empty folders in a single pass. It will work if Windows Explorer is closed. 2ff7e9595c
