Hello Mark,

AxCrypt does not support the specific path, file name, folder name, or both are too long(more than the default size) as per the Windows operating system policies. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

For more information https://docs.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/desktop/FileIO/naming-a-file#MAXPATH and https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/fc85630e-5684-4df6-ad2f-5a128de3deef/260-character-explorer-path-length-limit .
