Asset and bin name limitations
The maximum number of characters in an asset path name, including the bin name, is 259 characters.
This includes separators such as "\" and parts of the path name that are not visible in AppCenter.
The file system limits the number of bytes in a name as well as the number of characters. The values
in this table apply to names in English and other languages referred to in ISO 8859-1. The full count
of 259 characters might not be available with some other character sets.
