I want to copy my Windows 10 desktop files to my GOS phone as a backup. Unfortunately, the Android file system and Windows (NTFS) file system conflict a bit. The problem with that is I'll connect the phone to the computer, tell Windows to copy a huge swath of files to the phone, and some time later (10 minutes or more), the copy process just stops. No error message, no conflict resolution, just a bingle and everything stops. I have no idea where the problem file is. Sometimes, by comparing the file tree target to the source, I can find the problem file, but it's a pain.
Yesterday, I found and modified a PowerShell script to find files with names greater than 127 characters (which seems to be the limit of what Android will accept). I changed about 150 file names on my Windows machine and managed to get a subset of my files to copy over. But, then, I ran into the same problem with another subset of files. I'm guessing that this time the issue might be with path length. But, I don't know. Is it possible for GOS to make a modification to better handle the bulk copying of files to it? Perhaps throw an exception that will report the problem files instead of quitting the whole process (and that's assuming Android stopped the copy process and not Windows)? Or even rename offending files and report the change somehow?
