This is a normal post And yet Windows is still stuck with a 260 character limit on paths (without jumping through hoops)...

This is a normal post Don't let facts bother you mate!
I assume you use a Mac and never bother to check the stuff you read a decade ago

Enough facts for you?

I've been aware of the issue for years and bumped into it yet again in the last week.

(I have as little to do with Macs as possible and generally only deal with Windows because I'm paid to...)

This is a normal post There's no 260 limit on Windows 10
Go and have a try, I got up to 500 before I got bored.

Just using md and cd by the way, no hoops

This is a normal post I was going to say pics or gtfo!
I got this far. It seems File Explorer has issues that command line doesn't though. So, we're both right! *cuddles*

This is a normal post There are a number of factors at play.
Your example above is a UNC format path, which doesn't exhibit the problem, but trying to write to that using a DOS style path (which is often the default) will cause issues, even using the command line and on standard Windows 10.

This is a normal post I dunno why it copied like that
I did it all via CMD and md and cd.

I think the limit is in File Explorer which does complain where CMD or PowerShell or Git Bash don't
