SharePoint List is invalid
Hi all,
Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated.
Several users on our tenant (over the past couple of weeks) have complained about receiving the error, 'SharePoint List is invalid', when attempting to open a folder.
Now first off, they're not actually in a list, in each documented case, the user has always been attempting to open a folder.
This issue can be remedied by refreshing (or selecting 'Retry') on the page itself, although this can take several minutes to remedy.
It's by no means major issue but users are worrying regarding the time it make 'strike' as a few minutes of wiating mid-meeting could feel like forever.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has encountered this.
Some potentially important information:
- There are 45,000 files on that site (read about there being a 5,000 view limit on lists, but this is a doc library).
- The view used is the default (All Documents).
- The folders users have been attempting to access have contained as few as one file in it.
- Refreshing generally fixes the issue quite quickly.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

- Hello Chris.
The library have content types apply?
The folder name is one word or have space and specials caracters?
Can you reduce the view limit of the list and try again?- Hi MacAdjeh,
Thanks for the reply.
This library doesn't have content types added (we do have sites with content types but haven't encountered this issue yet - or at least, no one has raised it as an issue.)
The folder name is "5. Reports"
It follows the sites naming convention and would be popular in our organisation.
I can reduce the list view, but as we are unable to recreate the issue on demand, it would just be a case of waiting to see if the issue does reoccur.
I can do that for the moment though and see if it fixes or reduces the occurance of the issue.
Thanks for the advice,
Chris
