As per CRM 2013 and SharePoint Integration New Feature : http://community.dynamics.com/crm/b/crmpowerobjects/archive/2013/11/05/crm-2013-and-sharepoint-integration-new-feature.aspx
"Now for the cool new part. The folder name is no longer simply the account record name�the CRM record�s GUID is appended to the folder! You can see that the CRM document location record displays the folder name"
"This improvement in the CRM 2013 and SharePoint integration simplifies additional development. It should also should expedite further integration between the two applications, because now SharePoint knows the unique ID of the CRM record!"
*Requirement :To have the GUID hidden in meta data instead of being at the end of the folder name
Comments
Our customers find the GUID really annoying. Given that the integration is driven by Document Location records it should be possible to add metadata to these to preserve the pretty name while keeping the duplicates issue at bay.

This is really a show stopper of the CRM-Sharepoint integration. If you store documents for entitys (quote, invoice, ...) you'll get 2 times the 32 character long GUID for the folders in sharepoint. So you'll hit the 260 character limitation of the URL very quickly. And if you're using the Sharepoint synchronisation on the client PCs they will just stop synchronising if you have a single path paroblem...
Microsoft why did you choose make it possible to store 32^16 duplicates? It's a sledgehammer to crack a nut

Microsoft: this only has 5 votes, but this might not show the real size of the problem. It's probably because: - A lot of CRM consultants / developers convinced their users to accept this bad piece of engineering / user experience. They can't fix it anyway. - This page does not show up in the Google/Bing search results - The search functionality on this site is bad
