I need to make backups of some files on a network share. However, I need to copy those files to my local drive before burning the disks because those files might be in use. Some of the files won't copy because the file path is too long. Is there any workaround other than changing the file structure?
2) in my case, I have copied files with Explorer, it alerts me that some files are not copied because of long file names. Then I use FreeFileSync to sync the remaining (non-copied) files.

Can someone please help me out with this? I tried using long path tool but they want me to pay in order to delete the folder. However I cant find the file the system is complaining about. I went to the folder
I don't know what to do, I have been reading a lot of work-arounds online however most people suggest using long path tool but I remember having this issue in the past but I cant remember how I solved. I believed it was something to do with the Developer Command prompt and resetting some paths.
The second step would be to not map $/ to your user profile in your workspace mapping, but $LegalHoldings/Sprints/Sprint5/Expunctions to something like C:\Workspace\Sprint5 specifically that would drastically reduce the path depth required for your project.
Asset creator gives me occasionally an error, sometimes related to too long asset name, sometimes not. I have my assets library on a OneDrive. Most assets work well and most can be generated by shortening the name, but some can't be helped. Not sure if it's related to texture names or something.
Is there a chance you could kindly share the whole directory path with me to the assets themselves? (like: "P:\Enscape\Assets for example") Does it help if you reduce the amount of sub-folders in which the Assets are located? Also, any chance that some Assets/Textures or such do in fact have long names, and does it help if you shorten those?
I second that. From time to time such tools are posted in threads in this Forum and all were flagged as spam. I do not recommend using such a tool. You can do the same with the terminal. The following powershell snippet lists all directories and files in a directory and its subdirectories which exceed a length of 230:
There are several solutions, such as using environment variable to point to the destination directory, or to create alias to cd there (via doskey). My favorite solution uses subst to substitute the long path with a drive letter:
Hi. I am trying to copy a large number of files from one directory to another on a home-use windows 10 p.c. I know that I have a bunch of duplicate files which doesn't help, but the real problem is that I get to the end of the copying process (which just used up a bunch of time) and then windows says "oh by the way this or these files cannot be copied because the path/file name is too long (paraphrase)." Would anyone be able to suggest a solution to this to what has become for me a nightmare? Thank you for your assistance.
There are utilities out there that you could run and determine where the too long file path is. The ones I have used in the past only tell you where they are, they don't actually resolve the problem though. If I remember correctly I believe the tool is literally called Long file path tool. It was a free utility. There was another utility that would delete the paths but don't remember the name
Are the file names from bookmark links or other places? What are you using to copy over the files? You could use subst to map a drive to shorten the path, then just copy the files below the folder. This way, if you were using robocopy you can /XD to exclude the folder on the full copy, then just copy the new "drive" and below on the second pass. Sure, it's a little work but better than having to manually adjust each path.
I found a utility (doublekiller-the free version) that seems to OK at locating duplicate files; it seems slow, but seems to work as advertised. The too long path/file name at this point remains unresolved. I do not understand your posting referencing creating a new drive letter; perhaps you would be able to lay that out in a step-by-step process. Thank you very much.
1) Back up all data to a folder.
2) Change the folder name and path to a length longer than maxpath
3) Hope that cryptolocker will not be able to get into the folder to encrypt the data in it.
