And in that case, there are (quite a few) alternatives.⬇️ Click to Tweet Sometimes Google Drive just isn't the best file storage platform for the job. Google Drive is practical and convenient, primarily if you already use other Google products. Ability to open 30+ types of files within Drive - no software installation needed.Offers tools for sharing and collaboration.Seamless integration with Google Docs, Google Sheets, and other Google apps.We also try to be at that level with our SaaS tool support. We are constantly working hard on some exciting state-of-the-art algorithms, both with our partners and on our technology - to make sure your data is replicated as quickly as possible and give you as much visibility into your transfer.Kinsta spoiled me so bad that I demand that level of service from every provider now. For more details about this Dropbox limitation please go here: And each call to create a file requires 1 to 3 API calls meaning that the maximum speed is about 300,000 to 1,000,000 files per month. ĭropbox Business also limits 1 million API calls/month for data transport. For example, it is not uncommon for 1-5 seconds of overhead per file to be copied (target service needs to catalog this file, index it, verify it, etc.). If you are trying to move 200,000 files, this would be 200,000 – 1,000,000 seconds or up to 11 days of overhead alone!įurthermore, some cloud apps and cloud storage providers have throttling limits (for example, Microsoft OneDrive), which can influence your transfer speed.įor Dropbox, the performance may start to decline when you store above 300,000 files as described here.
What may be surprising is how large of an impact factor other than the size of the data you are syncing can have.
Our servers do not have any limits, and speed can reach up to 2TB/day per account. Depending on the number of directories, the number of files, the size of those files, and the source/destination, it can sometimes take longer than expected to move your data. However, in many cases, it is very difficult to predict how long a given transfer will take. Our transfer rate averages from 1GB to about 10GB per hour per account.
