Description

There is no limit for the length of paths under iOS and Android, only on Windows. I build a project to reproduce the behavior.

The project tries to create recursivly directories until 10 subdirectories are created.

Repro steps:
1. Download this cordova project (https://files.itizzimo.com/f/bd119941c9/)
2. Add windows platform
3. Execute the project and run the automated tests

What happens:
When the file path length hits the limit of 260 characters, the application can't create anymore directories. The test fails.

What should happen:
All tests succeed.
