Dell EMC2 NAS Storage Data Copy causing Destination path too long error

Dear Community,

We have  Dell EMC2 NAS Storage. We have created shares oflders in it.

When i try to copy data from one folder (xyz-share this folder contains many subfolders and files inside it ) to another(abc-share ) inside NAS it gives me error "Destination Path Too Long". I cannot rename all files and folders to copy the data as it would take forever. Can anyone please suggesta a solution?

    Hello,

     

    Which specific storage solution are you working with? When you say that you're trying to copy the data, are you selecting a directory, and trying to copy the data and sub-directories to another location? I want to make sure that I properly understand the issue.

    Hello Storages,

    There is not any other way other than to rename the files so that they can be copied to a new folder.  You will need to rename all files with a shorter name in order for the copy to complete.
