In the past, the maximum supported file length was 260 characters (256 usable after the drive characters and termination character). In Windows 10, you can enable long file name support, which allows file names up to 32,767 characters (although you lose a few characters for mandatory characters that are part of the name).
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\LongPathsEnabled = 1

So metadata like "Making Numbers Count: The Art and Science of Communicating Numbers" by Chip Heath & Karla Starr" gets stored on disc by Calibre as "Making Numbers Count_ The Art a - Chip Heath.epub"

I believe that's a limitation to work with other OSs

I use calibredb with the export option to copy files to a flat folder and name them based on metadata:

"Chip Heath & Karla Starr-Making Numbers Count_ The Art and Science of Communicating Numbers.epub"

and side load from the flat folder
