* When you use a [[Custom Field Type: Link – Multiple Files|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.
