Check out some of the news about the Google Drive limit:
community discovery
The discovery was made from an online forum discussion reddit, where a user reported difficulties saving their files to the cloud. Several other users joined the conversation to share their own similar experiences.
This exchange of information highlights the growing need for more reliable and efficient solutions for digital cloud storage.
According to reports, the user only received a warning of failure to upload, with no further explanation. Not even creating a new empty folder is possible, because everything is apparently stuck.
Google spokesperson announces change
Google recently confirmed a change regarding the number of items allowed in each Google Drive. According to a spokesperson, users are limited to 5 million items created to maintain strong and reliable performance.
While this may only affect a portion of users (who don't pay for more storage), they will still be able to view and interact with existing files, but they won't be able to create new ones. This limitation is permanent and cannot be circumvented except by deleting old files from your drives.
Alternative Drivers
This new restriction may be inconvenient for users who use Google Drive as their primary storage solution and have too much data to organize.
However, it is important to remember that there are many other cloud storage options available that may better meet the needs of those who need additional space and resources.
Among these services are Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, Amazon Drive and iCloud.
It is recommended that users research and compare the features, prices and limitations of different cloud storage providers to determine which best suits their needs.
