Weifang - how do you feel about changing this error message to show how many characters the user can use? 

Note that this could reveal something about the layout of files on the disk, but it's probably not a concern.

I agree that adding the max character limit would be helpful. Could you confirm what that max char limit is?

Proposed message: "Use a shorter name. File names are limited to X characters." +jonann@ our UX writer to advise if this string looks good.

Different filesytems have different limits.

Downloads is probably 255, Drive is unlimited, Crostini?

How about "Try a shorter filename"

Seems a little friendlier, less commanding than "Use." I don't know if the maximum # of characters would matter to most people unless it's  a limit that would be easy to run up against, like if they could only use 25 characters or something.
