"File name/path too long" error message

You might receive an error message from Hornetdrive that either the file path or name is too long. This error message is produced by the OS Hornetdrive is being used on and might show up when using very long file names or many sub folders, resulting in a very long file path:

• Windows: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/windows/desktop/aa365247(v=vs.85).aspx
• macOS: Apple has no official limitation of their file names. It is possible however, that – depending on the format your HD is running – an error is received for anything exceeding 255 characters

To solve this issue, reduce the length of the file name and/or reduce the amount of sub folders used. If need be, you can move specific sub folders to a separate drive.
