Path file name too long. Any way to just keep the long long file name ?

[johnblack663]

So the folder name is "I went to the super market, I went to the super market, I went to the super market, I went to the super market, I went to the super market, I went to the super market, I went to the super market, I went to the super market, I went to the super market, I went to the super market, "
This long.

Any way to just keep the file or folder name ?
I know if I change the file,folder name, but I don't want it to be short.

Some folder files or originally long.
I could change it to "1" or "Hi" but that just doesn't feel good.
*****************
I guess it's because the file name is long and I put the file inside multiple files and tried to copy.

Anyway to get rid of the limit of 256 letters or just because it's inside a folder of a folder of a folder of another folder is just don't work to begin with ?

So there would be tons of problems so never put files inside multiple folders ?

There should be a way to just let it happen right ?

Your nested folders are part of the problem as they add length. I run into this with a NAS all the time. Not sure of a permanent fix but I found a clooge, move your source to a very short folder structure, I use a one letter folder at the root of C:, copy to there first, then copy to your originally scheduled target. This usually works, the odd super long file name will trip you up occasionally.

The filename can stay as it is - - it's the length of the path that needs to be shortened (ie you need to reduce the number of sub-folders in the path, (and keep the remaining sub-folder names reasonably short as well).
