Google Drive Has a 5 Million Item Cap, Even if You Have Storage Space Left
Reddit users came to this unfortunate realization, forcing them to either
delete or consolidate millions of items.
Google Drive now limits users to 5 million items. A Google Workspace
spokesperson confirmed the change in an email Monday evening.
This comes as a Reddit user posted a thread Monday saying Google had imposed
a 5 million item limit on peoples' Drive accounts, without prior warning. The
Reddit user said people began receiving "Upload Failed" notifications around
Feb. 14 for any action, including creating a new empty folder.
"To maintain strong performance and reliability, individual users are limited
to 5 million total created items in their Google Drive," a spokesperson from
Google Workspace said. The spokesperson went on to say this change affects
only a small number of users and recommended deleting some files.
For those with a plethora of files, suddenly being asked to remove millions
of items is a major inconvenience, as noted in a report created on Google's
issue tracker. One user in the UK said their business in the animal health
space has been critically hit by this change. It's caused a major disruption
for the "tens of thousands of users in-practice and their work on a daily
basis."
Others are wondering why, if there's a hard limit, Google didn't provide any
guidance. The rollout of this change may not be going smoothly either, with
some users saying that even at 1 million items, they can't create a new
folder.
For many users and businesses, storing files online is often more convenient
than local storage. The overall cloud storage market was valued at $78.6
billion in 2022, according to Markets and Markets.
People can upgrade their Google One account, the service that contains Gmail,
Drive, YouTube and others, to have additional storage. This storage can go
all the way up to 30TB. Google One competes with Microsoft's OneDrive,
Dropbox, Amazon Cloud Drive and Box. Of course, Google One integrates better
with Google Workspace apps like Docs and Sheets.
Amazon is shutting down its drive service at the end of 2023, only keeping
Amazon Photos around for photo and video. But there's no limit on the number
of photos and videos stored, said an Amazon spokesperson.
Some Google One competitors also have file limits. OneDrive for Business has
a limit of 50,000 items per folder. But it's uncertain if Microsoft has a
hard cap on the number of items overall. Dropbox, on the other hand, says
there's no limit.
Microsoft and Box representatives didn't immediately respond to requests for
comment.
It seems that regardless of a person's Google One plan, whether it be 100GB
or 20TB, the 5 million item limit applies. As a result, users with small file
sizes are likely to hit the item limit before they hit the storage limit:
Someone on a 2TB plan would have to exceed an average file size of 400KB to
run out of storage before they hit the item limit. So, unless a person is
storing large files like photos and videos on their drive, it's possible that
some are paying for more space than can realistically be used.
Alternatively, other Reddit users pointed out that compressing files into a
.ZIP folder ends up counting as one item.
3.心得:
簡單來說就是在 reddit 那邊有人觸發到近期未公布的單一使用者 Google Drive 500 萬
個檔案上限的警示。

They seem to have updated the error maybe? In my case it now says:
googleapi: Error 403: This account has exceeded the creation limit of 5
million items. To create more items, move items to the trash and delete them
forever., activeItemCreationLimitExceeded
I'm using Google Workspace Enterprise Standard
I've deleted a few million files and emptied the trash but it's still not
letting me create new files.
Google Workspace Enterprise Standard 也有這個限制。
