File Depths Report
FolderSizes shows you the distribution of files by subfolder depth. You can also double-click entries in the File Depths report to see exactly which files and folders are involved, allowing for efficient identification and management of problematic deep folder structures.
Identify Path Length Issues
Deeply nested files and folders can cause a number of issues for various types of Windows applications - including backup software, file and folder migration tools, and more. Some cloud storage providers also impose limits on the maximum depth of files and folders. The File Depths report helps you identify and resolve these potential problem areas before they cause operational failures.
Common path depth limitations include:
- Windows MAX_PATH restriction (260 characters)
- Cloud storage service path length constraints
- Backup software limitations
- File synchronization tool restrictions
- Archive utility path length limits
