# Folder Limits

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.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <strong>Quip desktop app</strong>, <strong>Quip iOS mobile app</strong>, and <strong>Quip on web</strong></td></tr></tbody></table>

## Item Limit

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.

Note For more information on Quip folders that reach item limits, see [Workarounds for the Quip Folder Item Limit](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=000364579&type=1&language=en_US).

## Member 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**.
