To keep your Quip folders reliable and consistent, there are limits on the number of items and members that you can add, depending on the folder type.
| Available in: Quip desktop app, Quip iOS mobile app, and Quip on web |
Quip folder item limit for documents, spreadsheets, and subfolders:
| Recommended Item Limit | Enforced Item Limit |
|---|---|
| 1,000 | 4,000 |
After you add an item from the user interface or API to a shared folder that exceeds the recommended item limit, Quip displays a warning.
If you try to add an item to a folder that exceeds the enforced item limit, Quip displays an error and doesn’t add the item. The error appears whether you try to add the item from the user interface, API, Flow Builder, or Salesforce Process Builder. For Flow Builder and Process Builder errors, you receive an email notification.
The content of any subfolders doesn’t count toward the item limit of a parent folder. Private folders and folders in Trash folders aren’t subject to the item limit.
Member limits for Quip standard, group, and workspace shared folders:
| Folder Type | Member Limit |
|---|---|
| Standard | 500 |
| Group | 1000 |
| Workspace | 1000 |
Standard folders that exceed the member limit are automatically converted to workspace folders that can be managed from Group Folders in the Quip Admin Console.
