I'm unable to upload files whose path length exeeds Windows' MAX_LENGTH limit, even when using UNC paths.
Desired Solution
Get Storage Explorer to work with longer path lengths.

Research direction
Start by reproducing an upload of a file whose path exceeds Windows' MAX_LENGTH limit, including through a UNC path. Investigate the Storage Explorer upload flow and the linked Windows path-length documentation; done means long-path files upload successfully without requiring the path to be shortened.
