Did You Know? File Paths and Names
When a file pathway is too long, you might not be able to access, copy or save a file any longer. There are two things that affect how long a file pathway is, the name of the file and how many folders it is inside.
A file path looks like this:
H:\Underwater Basketweaving\Unit 1\Assessments\Tests\Unit 1 Test
So when that pathway gets long, we start to have problems. A few levels are fine, and the names above are all relatively short. This is okay.
You also want to avoid having any weird symbols in your file names. No quotes, no commas, no punctuation. Pretty much the only thing you should put in a file name that isn't a letter or number would be a dash or an underscore.
What would a problematic file path look like?
H:\Underwater Basketweaving for Beginners (Freshmen & Sophomores Only)\Understanding the Basics of Underwater Basketweaving\Basket Types, Materials and Methods\Day 1\Assessments\Unit 1 Test:Foundations of Baskets, Understanding Basket Cases
This is just an FYI- file names are easy to change and as you access various documents throughout the year, you might consider updating file names to avoid future problems.
