A new file limit on GoogleDrive might make customers rethink paying for storage.
Google has established a file creation limit on Drive that caps the number of files you can create per account at 5 million.
Related Videos Several users unceremoniously learned of the change when they realized they could no longer upload files despite paying for several terabytes of storage. One Reddit user detailed having seven million files in Drive with a 2TB storage plan. They received an upload failure notice and a directive to delete files before they could proceed to create new files. Currently, the primary resolution seems to be truncating files into zip folders.
However, Google later confirmed that the limit is real, with Google spokesperson Ross Richendrfer telling The Verge that the company has made this move to “maintain strong performance and reliability” of Drive and to “prevent misuse” of the Google Workspace systems. The only reprieve is that the 5 million file cap does not include files that are shared to your Drive by other users, so you can host a larger number of files as long as you’re not the original creator.
