are there any limits around the number of files? The official linux client starts to bug out somewhere over 250k files and gets stuck on "syncing". Dropbox support have said they don't recommend more than 100k files.

Ugh. This might explain why my Dropbox client is forever broken on Windows too. I have hundreds of thousands of file. It will just never sync. I was about to start just pulling down multi-hundred-gig Zip files if the web UI would let me. Let's see if this app can do it.

Now, if only someone would make a client for IDrive so I can exfiltrate all my data from there...

Have you tried using rclone with their S3 backend? https://forum.rclone.org/t/setting-rclone-for-idrive/20822

Thank you. I tried this some time ago from another article and could not get it to work. I'll try from your link and see how I get on.
