Google Translate says, amusingly:
"This is a test file for the length of the file name. The purpose is to 
name a file in Chinese or Japanese or Korean characters and require the 
character to be longer than 85 characters and then copy the file into 
our shared folder to see if it can copy the file To me" (.txt, I guess)

No matter what number you choose for a path length, you're never going 
to win against that specific user. :)
