Looking for software that will list file names and paths at the 255 limit, and then truncate them down if possible.

Not really seeing much that does this, which doesn't seem totally sketchy at best. . .

IIRC there's a way you can do it with linux that works great, but I last used it 5 years ago so... maybe it'll help your googling
-
@MattSpeller It may.
The trouble I'm attempting to address (without breaking people's fingers) is that they save things with super long 255+ character paths, as they use Apple products, which apparently aren't subject to this limitation.
But our Servers are.

Which of course has to be done carefully, as I don't want to break any network shares or files.

No matter how you do it I'd take a backup (at least one) first haha

But seriously anyone know of any tools that can shorten a network path name? And not just in a terminal, but the physical path name.
E:\dsfbgsdfg\2314312363456\sdfgwesd\2011\452345\2011a\32452345 wsdfgbvw\23452345\
to
E:\dsfbg\2314. . . . . .

@DustinB3403 my google-fu top result - never tried it
-
@DustinB3403 If you are using drive letters to do this, just map a drive
f: to point to
\server\share\dsfbgsdfg\2314312363456\sdfgwesd\2011\452345\2011a\32452345 wsdfgbvw\23452345\ -

Please tell me that some of that actually makes sense to you. Orders? Invoices? Customer #'s? Don't have to explain it to me. Just tell me you understand it.

Pretty sure that's just gibberish.

I saw that, but it only lists the file paths that are over a set limit, it does nothing to rename them.

Yeah just gibberish.
Have you considered a naming convention of some sort for your file servers and locking it down?
-
@NerdyDad Yeah . . . . only been at the new job a month.
This is just a trouble issue as I'm trying to archive things from past years and the user base here has been allowed to do whatever they want.
