Rename Failed

Rename Failed

Hi all. I'm trying to rename one of my folders, but I keep getting a "rename failed" error message. I am an owner of the folder so I'm not quite sure what is happening. My guess is that it's because it's a large folder, but I wonder if others have more insight

Hey @natekang, and welcome to our forum. 

 

Have you tried renaming this folder via a different browser? Do you keep seeing the same error, if you do this?

 

Also, can you try to rename a smaller folder, as a test, and let me know what happens?

 

Keep me posted for more updates!
