File Limit In A Folder

Post by hlewton »

Probably many here already know this but I didn't. So I looked it up on the WEB and found this: "You can put 4,294,967,295 files into a single folder if drive is formatted with NTFS (would be unusual if it were not) as long as you do not exceed 256 terabytes (single file size and space) or all of disk space that was available whichever is less."

I feel better now. :grin: :evilgrin:
Regards,
hlewton

More likely to be a problem with words, rather than files...! :rofl: :flee:
