- Google has limited the number of files a user can store on Google Drive.
- Google never officially announced this limit.
- The limit is now being rolled back.
Update: April 3, 2023 (11:28 PM ET): Google is removing the file limit it recently and unexpectedly imposed in Google Drive. In a Twitter thread, the official Drive account stated that the limit was rolled out to preserve system stability and optimize performance. While only a small number of users were affected by the change, Google is now rolling it back. The company also promised it’ll do a better job of communicating future changes to its users.
We recently rolled out a system update to Drive item limits to preserve stability and optimize performance. While this impacted only a small number of people, we are rolling back this change as we explore alternate approaches to ensure a great experience for all.
