With a 300k File Limit - Does Dropbox Really Provide Business Solutions?
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.
Not sure that's true.
Today we completely reinstalled the OS on one system, and it still will not sync.
When working with Support, they said "you have to get below 300,000 or they can't do anything.
We're only at 450,000 - and the computer is an i9-12900KS, with DDR5 RAM, PCIE NVMe's, and a symmetrical 1Gbps Fiber Connection - so it's definitely not "System Dependent."
They said "it could be Anti-Virus then," but it's not, since it's a fresh install, and the AV wasn't installed yet.
Their only other suggestion was to pick "selective-sync," which is a cop-out. If we didn't need to sync all of the folders - we wouldn't be syncing them to begin with.
So, until we get below 300,000 - they say "oh well."
Our OneDrive, and SharePoint (OneDrive for Business) sync perfectly, so we'll have to leave Dropbox.
I'd love to switch to Google, but we don't trust their data mining with the files we sync.
This sucks, since we've been with Dropbox since '08.
I have switched to Mega and couldn't be happier. I get 8 TB of storage and so far no issues with missing files or failed syncs. Been using them for a year.
