Google: We have identified modern web development as a threat to our systems, and have taken measures to ensure npm users cannot store their npm_modules directories on GoogleDrive. Please consider rewriting your nodejs projects in Go.

That's a bit unfair on Node and NPM. The modules directory rarely grows to more than 4 million files.

The article says the limit is 5 million files, so... 2 NPM projects? That's not really better...

I think the GP is sarcasm, but I only have like 70% confidence.
