If you're managing this in a free Google Drive account, shame on you (seriously)

Paid accounts are limited too.

We pay $18/user/month for Google Workspace and hit this limit.

These are paid, large plans. 5 million files on a 20tb plan seems unreasonable.

Why would it seem unreasonable?

That's 4MB/file, which is not exactly large. That's also a small use case. 20TB is 4 people on Google Workspace. Our company is 40 people, so our limit is 200TB (which we pay for), but 5 million files.

This is not about the free tier.

The issue is common to all account types, ie also affects paid accounts.
