Hi,

How can I solve this problem when I synchronize?
Cannot create directory "D:\CLDF 2017 PRÉ EDITAL - Consultor Legislativo Constituição e Justiça - E\Direito Administrativo p Câmara Legislativa do DF (Consultor Legislativo - ".

"Direito Administrativo p Câmara Legislativa do DF (Consultor Legislativo - " is not a regular directory name.
It is a folder from "google drive"...
so I can not rename the original folder... or not recomended.

The offending character is probably only the blank after the hyphen.

Try to rename the original folder in Google Drive, because in Windows no app will be able to create file name and folder with trailing blank.

I can't because it's a shared folder and I'm not an adm.
I think FreeFileSync can't use long file names...

Correct. I've improved the error message for the next release to make this clear.

But the real name of the folder, or folders, are larger than freefilesync told us.
Don't have this name here.
I have more than 1 folder that exist with this initial.
