  • 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.
  • If you get a spool folder error, you may need to 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.
