Robocopy /fat option
I'm trying to copy server files to sharepoint and there are a lot of files and folders that have full sentences as names and as such, when I try to copy these files into the sync folder on the server I get the error saying the path is too long. I tried using robocopy to see if it would bypass the error and copy the files anyway but there are still a lot of file that wont copy.
My question is how can I use the /fat option to only copy the files that are too long and not the files are that are fine. I don't want to end up with double the files (one in fat and one not) for the files already copied.

See this answer here as well as some others on that post that may help you with this: superuser.com/questions/1119883/…. If you are able to NTFS long paths, then perhaps you won't have to deal with this at all.

Don't have the time to focus on this, but consider generating a list of files with the /L option to generate a list of those successfully copied, Flip their Archive bit with ATTRIB; then use the /A option of Robocopy to copy the uncopied files. Good luck, dude.
