I have a suggestion for uploading files on Gdrive the files packed are of type "long course name/long course name/long course name/files.../files...on and on..." which can be greater than 256 characters and cannot be unpacked on some file systems as the hierarchy filesystem tree gets deep which would not handle such long paths so suggestions are:

  1. If the course name length is big then can use short names.
  2. Instead of packing deep inside the folder as "course name/course name/content" can be cut down to "short course name/content".
  3. If the course contains some source code zipping the code inside a zip would help save file system path length.

These are some suggestions to get rid of the hustle post getting a course.
