Google removes 5 million file creation cap for Drive after backlash

I didn't report on when they implamented because I was curious as to what the impact was going to be. 

First, who is storing that many files to Google Drive? That number is pretty crazy. But on April 4th we see that Google is changing its mind and is rolling this limit back. They stated that the limits were put in place "to preserve stability and optimize performance". That actually made sense to me. I can't imagine the impact of that many files on their system.

I don't disagree with their intent but their lack of communication about the inital implementation wasn't done very well. Hopefully when they approach this again with whatever new approach they are going to use they will do so with a little more information in advance.
