What about a business with 5M customers? Storing one file per customer seems reasonable.
- yebyen 4y agoIf you're managing this in a free Google Drive account, shame on you (seriously)
- upon_drumhead 4y agoThese are paid, large plans. 5 million files on a 20tb plan seems unreasonable.

- thombat 4y agoThe issue is common to all account types, ie also affects paid accounts.

- Gigachad 4y agoUse sqlite and store it in one file. Or use s3. If you have 5 million users, you should be using a real system
