Hey there, Margarety, let's jump right into this! 

 

The simple answer, is that you can have as many files as you'd like inside your Dropbox account, as long as your account's quota allows. 

 

The one limitation that you have, is how many files you can have locally, when and if using our app. Usually, the performance of our app can decline after approximately 300K files. You can see more about that here. 

 

As for increasing your storage, you can always take a look at all our available plans, and if you have any questions about them, I'll be here to help.

 

I hope this clarifies!
