If I go through my company's shared drive and look for a specific file. I am able to locate it and try to open it with Chrome, PDF, etc but it won't actually open. If using Chrome it'll show that the file has been moved or deleted. With that being said if I copy it to say my desktop it will open and does have a size on disk.
I looked at the properties of the file when it is in the original location and I can see that it has a file size but it doesn't have a size on disk. I did some digging around google and saw that this might be due to data deduplication but I searched the whole drive and found no other instance of this file. I also did some testing and noticed that the file is openable if I start putting it in other random folders.
For example TEST > TEST2 > TEST3 > TEST4 > TEEST>5 > Doesn't open
but TEST > TEST2 > TEST3 > Opens
Someone had suggested the file was too deep down but I've never seen or have had anyone have any issues like this and we typically have files that are folders and folders deep.
Update I noticed that if I copy one of the versions that work with a much smaller name then it will open. I however am not able to rename the original file. It will just revert back to it's original name.
