For many many years, I've been a Dropbox Pro member. During this time, they decided at some point, that 300,000 files is the maximum they will support. Now, I know what you are thinking. The ar...

I did not accept this as a solution (now fixed). It doesn't solve anything and is factually incorrect. At the time of your reply and this post, there is a baked in hard-limit in Dropbox that makes it unusable - and your support team refused to provide support to anyone with over 300K files. Nothing in your response you marked as the "answer" addresses this in any way shape or form. Wishing you had the answer isn't the same as providing one.
The right answer was moving to Google Drive and getting an actual business grade cloud based file sync solution in place.

the 300K LIMIT is old and they have replaced the indexer since from memory, we had over 500K of files when last used, no issues.
We switched out to a more powerful service, OneDrive as it has better windows integration

I liked Dropbox because our people are frequently on the road and don't always have reliable Internet. I also liked how our people can save files using tried and true File Explorer. When they gain Internet access, their files would sync to Dropbox (at least they used to before the 300K file limit). Does OneDrive do that as well?
