Are you writing parahraphs for folder/file names? That's one "issue" I never had problem with.
Maybe enterprises need a solution for it but that's a very different use case from most end users.
Improvements are always welcome but saying it's "ridiculously short" makes the problem sound worse than it is.
File paths. Not just the filename, the entire directory path, including the filename. It's way too easy to run up against limit if you're actually organized.
You like diving 12 folders deep to find the file you're after? I feel like there's better, more efficient ways to be organized using metadata, but maybe I'm wrong.
Metadata is slow, messy, and volatile. Also, shortcuts are a thing.
