> Having a limit of 5 million files is perfectly reasonable.

Is it? On this desktop I have 1.5 million files, "df -i" says I've used 1.1 million inodes and I have 61 million inodes free.

The 5 million file limit on Google Drive seems to be excessively low.

Note to Google, consider re-imagining your PhD's and MBA's as food service personnel.

Agreed, it's absurdly low. My rootfs is ~1 million inodes, with ~61 million free too; I only reinstalled Gentoo a couple of months ago, so I'm only using 180GB / 1TB.

EDIT: s/files/inodes

You have 400,000 files with 2 hard links? Or 100,000 files with 5 hard links each?

How? Why?

I'm not sure what you're asking? I'm happy to try and oblige, do you have a command I can run to answer your questions?
