We are asked to use Projects to manage our work, and we then mapped the project's structure into a folder structure using sharepoint. The thing is, this structure leads to very long file paths, and Windows won't let us open the files using the file explorer because the file path is too long, and so we need to search stuff through sharepoint, download as zip files, and end up breaking the intended organization. The projects page helps create the illusion of organization for the higher-ups but in reality it is a hindrance. We don't have admin access to the computer and so we can't change this file path limit setting. This is just the first that came to mind of an endless list of complaints I have.
Oh goodness, the Windows filepath limit has caused so many headaches at work. Even if you enable longer filepaths, not all applications pay attention to that, since at some point, Microsoft promised a specific filepath length and some applications hard-coded it in, so Microsoft is kind of locked in to supporting that being the default max filepath length. Not sure if any Office applications fall into that camp, but given that most filepath length errors I see are from Windows itself silently failing to finish extracting a zip archive, it wouldn't surprise me!
This really sucks when part of the mandatory cloud file path name is "defense information systems agency". That eats up a lot of the available space.
