Maximum number of files in copy-paste function?

Open B0ycee opened this issue 11 months ago • 1 comments

I have a parent directory on an Android device with many files (>30k files around 30Gb data total) which I have successfully copied and pasted to a FTPS location using MaterialFiles many times. That Android based parent directory is growing over time, and recently I have found that repeating the copy/paste operation hangs at “Preparing to copy” phase and never begins transfer.

My assumption is that the parent directory now contains too many files. It is possible to cancel the stalled "Prepairing" dialog. Copy/Paste of all the subdirectories (containing subsets of the total files) succeeds, hence the assumption of the limit.

Any ideas?

@B0ycee, does it ANR? You can tell if you install something like LogFox (or Scoop).
