is there a limit of chars characters for folders,files or deep path directory?
when i want to upload a folder with a long filename the problems occur that it shows more than 100%.
or could it be the filename of the encryption? i noticed that i only have it with long filenames/folder names
i use rclone last version x64 with a current debian also last version.
standard encryption allows for around ~143 characters.
Yours is:
echo "One.Piece.TV.Special.06.Episode.of.Sabo.Das.Band.der.3.Brueder.die.wundersame.Wiedervereinigung.und.die.vererbte.Entschlossenheit.2015.German.DL.1080p.BluRay.x264-STARS" | wc 1 1 169
I'm not 100% sure what that error means...
Files can only be 255 characters in length on dropbox, so before encryption they will need to be <143 characters in order to fit as @calisro says.
I couldn't get the long file/folder up on the drop box. i get only errors.
he tries to upload it over and over again and the percentage display goes way over 100% per file.
all other files/folders go without problems, i use the encryption via rclone.

If you're using crypt, you're never going to get them up there above ~143 characters. If you're not using crypt you should be able to get up to 255. Its like trying to put a gallon of water in a 16oz cup.
is it possible to exclude folders that are longer than ~143 characters?
You've have to exclude them by name. You can generate an exclude list and then pass that into rclone prior to running using something like --exclude-from
find /path -regextype posix-extended -regex '.*/.{143,}' | sed 's/^.///' > /tmp/ex
rclone copy /path remote: --exclude-from /tmp/ex
thanks for the quick solution!
You can do this in rclone very inelegantly with
--exclude "???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????*"
Yes that is 143 ? marks!
Funny I was just looking at that. 
I was attempting though to use regex which I don't think I can do.
something like ?{143,}* 
EDIT: @ncw the rclone only solution will only match files though, no? I dont think directories over 143 are allowed. Am I incorrect in that it will match both?
root@cloudc:/tmp# rclone lsf -R robgd:testcase2 --exclude "?????*"

testdiraaaaaaaaaa/exc2Yes that solution is for files only, you'd need to exclude the directories separately most likely
