Hi,

I can't find an article that mentions how many files I can upload at once.  I'm not asking about the file size, I'm asking about the quantity of files that I can upload at a time.

Thank you.

Hi Ric, 

Welcome to the Box Community!

The recommended number of files to upload to Box depends of the upload or migration method you will use:

  • Drag and Drop: 1-100 files at a time
  • Upload Folders: 1-500 files at a time
  • Sync 4: Up to 100,000 files maximum
  • Passive FTP: Batch up to 150,000 files at one time
  • API: Batch up to 50,000 files at one time
