Some virtual file types, such as files that link to files in other external storage systems, can’t be added to shared drives. The maximum individual file size that you can upload or synchronize is 5 TB. Uploads that are in progress will complete. Users who reach the 750-GB limit or upload a file larger than 750 GB cannot upload additional files that day. Individual users can only upload 750 GB each day between My Drive and all shared drives.

When using Drive for desktop, you can’t move a folder from My Drive to a shared drive. Instead, organize content into multiple shared drives. Members might have difficulty organizing and finding content. We recommend that you avoid creating many folders in one shared drive. Folder nesting and movingĪ folder in a shared drive can have up to 20 levels of nested folders. Search for 'Manage shared drives' and review the Item cap column. If you're a Google Workspace administrator, you can see how close a shared drive is to the item limit in your Admin console.
