Word Document error with Box Sync - You can't save to this location. Try another.
I'm trying to save a file that I've edited before and has 28 versions with Word using Box Sync. I get the error - You can't save to this location. Try another.

Hi Robby,
Welcome to the Box Community!
The issue you encounter may be related to the Windows file path character limit: Windows 255 character limit.
I'd recommend shortening the length of the path to under 255 ( 218 characters for Excel) by moving the file to a folder with a shorter path name or you can try moving the file a few sub-folders up to shorten the path -- this is the only workaround that we have for now to address this Windows-limitation.
Can you try moving the affected file a few folders up and then open/ save it again and see how it goes?Best,
