The **Expert Settings** screen provides advanced configuration options for your vault. These settings are intended for users who require greater control over how their data is encrypted and stored.

**Maximum Length of Encrypted File Names**
76
+
77
+
One of the primary expert settings allows you to configure the maximum length of encrypted file names. This setting controls the degree of *name shortening* applied to file names during encryption, which is critical for compatibility with filesystems that have strict length limits.
78
+
79
+
- **Default Behavior**: Cryptomator automatically shortens file names to comply with filesystem constraints.
80
+
- **Custom Configuration**: If specific requirements must be met, you can manually set the maximum allowed length for encrypted file names.
