If the error message appears when uploading files that the file path or file name is too long, the file is currently locked or there is a connection problem, this can have various causes. The message can also appear if the path from which the file originates is too long.
Reason
When uploading files, Microsoft imposes a character limit. If the path (number of characters of the file title + the name of all folders) from which the file originates (e.g. From a local file storage) or the target path in buildagil is longer than 255 characters, the file cannot be uploaded.
In this case, the following solutions can help.
Load and move the file to the top level of the folder structure
Upload file from desktop
Make folder structures flatter (less deep folders and less long names)
The extended folder name can be activated in the project settings so that the length of the folder names can be optimized.
You can find detailed information on the extended folder designation in the following article: Extended folder designation
