From CNET: Google Drive no longer has a 5 million item limit, a Google Workspace spokesperson said Monday evening.
The about-face comes after people began complaining on Reddit and Google's own support site of a previously unknown 5 million item cap on Drive. When people found out that Google deliberately implemented the change, they were particularly irked by the lack of communication from the search giant. Those with a large number of files in their Drive account were suddenly unable to upload new items or create additional folders, forcing some to consider deleting or consolidating millions of items.
The Google Drive team has since updated people on the situation via Twitter, saying that though the change affected only a small number of users, the team is now instead looking at alternate methods for optimization.
The team also tweeted that in the future it would do a better job communicating changes.
