While uploading a large batch of files thru browser, we encountered error messages on upload (no specific info). The file/path names were long, and we would expect the upload to fail with a message, but they uploaded anyway with truncated and derived filenames." IPTREA~1.PDF" User had to manually rename. As some of our content is regulated, this may be considered a modification to the document.  Is automatic truncating and renaming of long files normal behavior, and/or is there a way to configure settings to avoid?

  Yes, automatic truncating can occur if the Windows file or folder path exceeds 255 characters. 

  See explanation here:
