Editing path maximum by MAX_PATH="xxx" in win 10.

Do editing maximum path lenght in windows 10 affect on Vault? I have problem with too long path, I can't copy folders with files to Vault beacuse of too long path, I tried shorten path, use C:/TEMP but anyway its too long.. I found that problem in Vault is built on Windows handicap (260 characters max). By windows 10 there FINALLY! came an option to edit MAX_PATH (that was blocking path length all the time, default is set to 260=256 ;P), changing it in registry from 260 to probably any(?) could resolve my problem but I'm not sure about how it will work in Vault.. (I cant try right now)
Is there limitation in Vault or its only in Windows or its coupled? If its works, are there any problems lately ?

P.S

If there is limitation then there should be some hot fix for win10 😜

Kind Regards.

Hi @Anonymous,

Thank you for your patience, I lost track of this thread. Vault is hardcoded to use 256 chars. To request, this feature be added to Vault please request it by posting in the Vault Idea Station.

Jason
