Confluence WebDav problem with long path access

[Tomasz Bryla]

Hello, I have a problem with viewing Confluence content using WebDav. I do not see the content of subpages when the path to this content is longer than 255 characters. I know that this is probably a limitation of Windows. Confluence is installed on Windows, users use Windows. Is it possible to circumvent this problem? I set the value to 1 in the file Computer \ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ FileSystem \ LongPathsEnabled but it did not help

Long path tool can solve your problem easily. It can delete, copy, move, and bulk rename long path files or locked files easily. Try it, It is very useful.

Hello there Tomasz!

You are right when you point out to this being a Windows Limitation. The workaround found here seems to be applicable to Windows 10:

260 character Explorer path length limit

There is also an explanation on how this came to be within Windows here:

Why does the 260 character path length limit exist in Windows?

And an official page from Microsoft about this subject:
