one drive. - directory name is invalid- file is open in another program
Hi Guys,
I got sharepoint in office365.
got multiple folders in a site.
users got one drive client and everything syncs to it.
all folders works fine. except one folder. whenever i try to open a file from that folder it keeps on saying. the "file is open in another program" or the "directory name is invalid". but it works fine when i open in webbrowser. and its the same problem for all users. so its not a local computer issue.
I also tried syncing to a new computer and still same issue with that particular folder.
things i have tried.
1.synched to new computer- same issue
2 tried resynching. reinstalled one drive. re synched same issue
3. tried renaming the folder in the cloud console and tried resynching- same issue.
not sure what else to do. any ideas would be great.
please have a look for the error messages.

hi guys,
sorry about the delay. but i found the problem and fixed it. no issues for few days now.
its just the length of the folder path. there were many subfolders/child folders. i guess microsoft would have updated the security policy on one drive, thats why i had issues suddenly.
but now after reducing the child folders, it started working.
