  • Google has limited the number of files a user can store on Google Drive.
  • Google never officially announced this limit.
  • Users over the limit are effectively locked out of their accounts until they delete files.

Some Google Drive users are getting a rather nasty surprise. It appears that a new restriction has been put on Google Drive and it’s causing a lot of problems for some users.

As discovered by Ars Technica, some Google Drive users have taken to Reddit to report a concerning issue with Google Drive. According to the users, they received a message that claimed they exceeded the number of items allowed, and new files won’t be accepted until existing ones are deleted. This issue seems to be affecting both free and paid accounts.
