Hi TaxAid,
There is a limit on the total number of "mounts" in an account/folder tree. For example, adding a new shared folder to an account creates a new mount, so if there's a very large number of shared folders in the account, the error 'too_many_mounts' will be triggered when you attempt to add more. There isn't an option for bypassing this limit, and we can't increase this limit for you, so you would need to reduce the number of shared folders in the account/folder tree, or use a different account/folder tree without that many mounts in it.
I hope this information provides more clarity!
