Frequently asked questions
Before you use this tool
Is the Path Length Checker free to use?
Yes. You can use this tool in the browser without creating an account or installing software.
Does ClearCopies upload the data I paste?
No. This utility processes the pasted text in your current browser tab. Avoid pasting secrets, access tokens or unredacted exports into any online tool.
Can this tool delete or change my cloud-drive files?
No. This page does not connect to your cloud account and cannot rename, move or delete files. It produces an estimate, analysis or checklist for you to review.
What should I do after using the Path Length Checker?
Shorten folders before syncing. Real limits depend on the full URL, tenant naming and client application, so leave a safety margin.
