If I have 1 million files, I need to create 333 directories, each directory stores 3000 files? Do I need to care about this, I assume cloud storage API will cater this for us, I just put 1,000,000 files to Alfresco using&nbsp;Alfresco API,&nbsp;Alfresco will do the rest for us. I don't need to create 333 directories.&nbsp;</P> Fri, 04 Aug 2023 03:15:00 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-forum/alfresco-3000-nodes-limitation/m-p/125252#M34189 julianck 2023-08-04T03:15:00Z https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-forum/alfresco-3000-nodes-limitation/m-p/125253#M34190 <P>Alfresco is not a filesystem.
