2147483647

Some versions support larger files than that (upto 4GB), but dos.library API does not cater for them.

Sorry, I meant FILENAME length. For example 255 letters.

AFAIK is 107.

Yes, 107 chars (again limitation set by the dos.library).

Does this include the directory tree? Or 107 letters just for the filename?

No.

Yes. File or directory name can be 107 letters.

Full path is limited to 255 chars on the API side. SFS itself sets no such limitations (AFAIK). If cleverly programmed, the app can handle practically unlimited path length.
