Using long file names
To make it easier to find documents, you can use long, descriptive
file names. The complete path to the file, including the drive letter,
server name, folder path, and file name and extension can contain up
to 255 characters. File names cannot include any of the following
characters: forward slash (/), backslash (\), greater than sign (>),
less than sign (<), asterisk (*), question mark (?), quotation mark
("), pipe symbol (|), colon ), or semicolon (.
