How to fix the "File Path Too Long" error Once a path has exceeded the maximum length, Windows Explorer can no longer access it. Long paths are often created accidentally, for example if a volume is integrated into a Distributed File System (DFS) tree or a top-level folder get a longer name. TreeSize of course fully supports long paths. Although Windows 1603 (Anniversary update) allows turning off this limitation, this option is not enabled by default as many applications still do not work properly with long paths. This limitation is a remnant of MS DOS and has been kept for reasons of compatibility. While Windows' standard file system (NTFS) supports paths up to 65,535 characters, Windows imposes a maximum path length of 255 characters (without drive letter), the value of the constant MAX_PATH. Net Framework and Windows itself have major issues with paths that have 260 or more characters, the result is that typically files in long paths cannot be used. "File Path Too Long" is a frequently encountered error especially on enterprise storage.
