    How to extend file path characters maximum limit manually?


    I am trying to make a clone from mercurial repository. But, unfortunately it is refusing to clone because of the length of the file path. It's displaying as below,


    abort: The filename or extension is too long.


    After trying the solutions in different articles, I can't overcome this problem. Suggest me a better solution.



    Note: The articles I referred in this community doesn't solve my problem, as it is stating that it cannot be extended.

    :)

    Extend NTFS 260 characters filename path limit

    Hello,

    I am trying to use the Windows 10 feature promoted
    here     and
    here     to extend the filename path limit beyond 260 characters (enable long paths in gpedit.msc, add LongPathsEnabled registry in regedit), but even if I follow the instructions to the letter, the limit still won't be removed.

    Has anyone met this behaviour? What can I do to remove the limit?

    I am using Windows 10 Pro, Version 1607.

    Path Limit

    Hi,

    This error appears when the name of the file/path names exceeds the 260 character limit . We suggest changing the name of the file/path as an initial troubleshooting in resolving the issue.

    Keep us in the loop with the result.

    SharePoint: Windows File Path Limit

    I have found that syncing folders to SharePoint one-drive limits the file path character limit to 218 characters and it counts "space" as equal to 3 characters, encoded to %20. Please confirm if any other special character is encoded and will be taking more
    space which eventually means the actual path is less than 218 characters.

    Other Info:

    OS: Windows 10 Pro

    Office 365/SharePoint Online.

    One-Drive: Build 18.151.0729.0012
