Hello,

Is it any way to support local path and UNC path longer than 260 bytes ?

No, there isn't. A few tools, e.g. ntbackup.exe or robocopy.exe,

can cope with longer paths but the majority of apps/commands can't.

Hello,

 

not really, but you could map a subfolder to a network drive to get 260 more
