This article lists known limitations with regards to Google Team Shared Drive
Limitations
Google Team Shared Drive, like SAMBA, does have limitations:
| Panel |
|---|
- Storage space
- You can upload 750 GB of data per day.
- You can upload files up to 5 TB in size.
- If a single file exceeds the 750 GB daily limit, that file will upload. Subsequent files will not upload until the daily upload limit resets the next day.
- A Team Shared Drive can contain a maximum of 400,000 files and folders. Please contact Google support if you need to increase this limit. Google strongly recommends that Team Shared Drives include less than this limit. Users of Team Shared Drives with too many files can have difficulty organizing and navigating the content and Google Team Shared Drive performances might suffer.
Our internal testing at cloudHQ showed that Google Team Shared Drive has excellent performances when there are less than 100,000 files and folders but performances do gradually go down as more files and folders are added. - A Team Shared Drive can include a large number of individual and Google Group members.
- Limit for individuals and groups directly added as members: 600
- A group and an individual are both counted as one member against the limit.
- Total limit of individuals (direct members, or indirect members due to Google Group membership): 50,000
An individual who is a member of several groups that are added as direct members of the Team Shared Drive still only count as a single individual.
- A single Team Shared Drive can nest up to 20 subfolders, but Google does not recommend creating Team Shared Drives with a folder structure that complex. Team Shared Drives will work but users can have difficulty organizing and navigating the content. Instead of a complex hierarchy of folders, consider organizing content into multiple Team Shared Drives

Bypassing those limits
These limits can be bypassed by setting up multiple Team Shared Drives and Functional Accounts, however it is not recommended in situations if the plan is to have the information be in a single team Shared drive location.
