We have one IFS folder with over 261,000 PDFs in it. I am wondering what the limit is so I can be proactive and avoid a problem.

In my opinion, quarter of a million objects in one directory is way,
way, way, way, way too many already. Obviously, it's best if you're
proactive right from the beginning. I have a rule of thumb: If I
stumble upon a directory and I have to wonder if it has too many files
in it, then it has too many files in it.

What counts as "too many" for my sensibilities is so far below any
hard limits that I keep forgetting that there can even BE hard limits,
other than total disk space.
