Why would you care about reasons, if you offer a certain amounts of space? There is a size limit. Why would you implement an item limit?

I have about 15M files in my Dropbox. The limit of my box is the size of my files combined AND their own size not their number. "Files uploaded to dropbox.com must be 50 GB or smaller. All files uploaded to your Dropbox must be smaller than your storage space. For example, if your account has a storage quota of 2 GB, you can upload one 2 GB file or many files that add up to 2 GB. If you are over your storage quota, Dropbox will stop syncing."

Can I ask what the bulk of the files are?

Only things I can think of are mapping tiles. Because while logs can take up space they don't generally create that many separate files...

Of course you an ask, but the answer is "no". It does not concern you, unless you are my host.

I'm not asking for private data, I'm just trying to understand the use case...

I mean I know why they want to restrict the amount. It adds computing expenses to their bill. But wow.
