Issue
After updating Nintex Forms, If using Internet Explorer and uploading files from a Network Drive to SharePoint you might receive the error " The specified file or folder name is too long. The URL path for all files and folders must be 260 characters or less (and no more than 128 characters for any single file or folder name in the URL). Please type a shorter file or folder name." and the file can't be uploaded. Before the update this was possible.
This happens because Internet Explorer is adding the local drive path to the network drive path. This makes it more than 128 Character long.
Resolution
To mitigate this issue, the "Include local directory path when uploading files to a server” setting from the Security Tab in the Settings for Internet Explorer needs to be disable.
To Disable it:
- Open the Internet Options
- Navigate to the Security tab
- In "Internet" and "Local Intranet" zones click on Custom Level
- From the Settings, go to the Miscellaneous section and Disable “Include local directory path when uploading files to a server”.
- Click ok and Click Apply.
- Retry.
This can be done thru Group Policy if this change needs to be applied to the whole company.
