What tier of Workspaces are they discussing here? It's totally not clear. Are these personal users? AFAIR, personal Drive accounts have always had a limited quota.

When my employer first provisioned Workspaces accounts for us (Enterprise tier, I assume), I inquired whether there was some sort of quota for our individual accounts, and I was assured that there is not. However, there is definitely some sort of number assigned, which GMail displays, and it tells me I'm using XXX MiB of an XXX TiB allocation, which I assume is org-wide.

So we've recently seen Google acknowledge that there is a practical and administrative limit on the number of objects (files) in Drive, so which services are affected by this alleged crackdown (which has absolutely no proof or tangible evidence, just the claims of a bunch of "data hoarders" on a pseudonymous forum.)

This is Enterprise Standard/Plus. You could get truly unlimited storage for about $15/month. Lots of people/companies have been taking advantage of this for quite a while. Many users with 1 PB+ of data. Lots of users with hundreds of TBs.
