Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Lots of options on Linux.
Maybe as a workaround you could add loose files with the rest of the filename and metadata into the folder, if you're only dealing with long folder names?
What are loose files?
Files in the folder containing the rest of the data. Like cutting the folder name in half and having the rest of it as the filename of a .txt file inside it.
