SMB path lengths can be extended when using Windows 10/Windows Server 2016 version 1607 or later by changing a registry value as covered in [Maximum Path Length Limitation](/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry). When this value is changed, path lengths can extend out to up to 32,767 bytes (minus metadata values).

Once this feature is enabled, you must access the SMB share needs using `\\?\` in the path to allow longer path lengths. This method doesn't support UNC paths, so the SMB share needs to be mapped to a drive letter.

Using `\\?\Z:` instead allows access and supports longer file paths.
