Why is the length of the path limited to 255 characters? #31

Hello,

I've just a little question, when I was going through the code I noted the method self.check_path. It is used multiple times, but I can't figure out why. In Dropbox the length of a name is limited to 255 characters, but not the path. And I successfully created "ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt / tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt / tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt" in Dropbox. But when I use the Dropbox API to get the metadata of this folder I get the error "Dropbox paths are limited to 256 characters in length". Is this intentional?

Probably a mistake on my part. Fixed.
