    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.

    You should be aware that any well written legacy apps will likely still complain about long paths, since they are likely checking the path length themselves. And until they are fixed, probably won't allow them.

    Also, of course FAT32 LFN's will still be limited.
