- When you use a Multiple File type field, all the files associated with a single instance of the field (i.e. a single set of files in a single entity) are stored in the same physical folder on the server.
- Each of these folders are dynamically created under a single folder representing the field as soon as the first file is added to the first entity.
- As there is a physical storage limitation that only 32,000 sub-folders can be created in a single folder eventually this limit will be reached.
- You need to occasionally check this number - the Current Spool Folder count will indicate 32,000.
- You will know the number has been reached when users are unable to upload files to the Multiple File type field.
- If this situation occurs you simply enter a number into the Spool Folder ID text box - for example 2. This will create a new folder for storing files and the system is allow for the upload of the next 32,000 files.
