    File name too long for destination folder


    I have a parent folder containing multiple subfolders 100+ within. Every folder name is well under 256 characters. I need to transfer this particular parent folder regularly between my computer drives and have had no issue initially. However out of the blue I start receiving error messages that my parent folder and all 100+ subfolders have names too long for the destination folder despite me having been transferring them all day without issue prior. I have tried to 1 shorten the name of the parent folder shortening all 100+ folders is too much work2 set LongPathsEnabled to 1 under the Re

    :)

  2. The file name would be too long for the destination folder. You can shorten the file name and try again

    I received a message when i was trying to copy a file from my desktop to another location. Also, in the destination location i cant rename the files.

    This is the message: The file name would be too long for the destination folder. You can shorten the file name and try again ....

    I belive that there is a solution for this right? i belive too that the system has to get used to the user and not the user to the system. How can i solve this issue?

    Script that separates files according to destination folder name

    Should the files be moved to the destination folders or copied? And what if a file with the same name already exist in the destination folder? Substitute or not copy \ move?

    Would this be the expected:
