For optimum performance, we recommend storing no more than 300,000 files in a single OneDrive or team site library. Although SharePoint Online can store 30 million documents per library, for optimum performance we recommend syncing no more than 300,000 files across all document libraries.
The maximum size of a file that can be placed in a SharePoint library is between 2 and 15 gigabytes (depending on the version of SharePoint you have), and the maximum number of files that are allowed within a SharePoint document library is 60 million individual files.
SharePoint Server versions only support up to 260 characters for file and path lengths, Microsoft Excel and older Office version have a lower limit, see KB 326039 for details. If you exceed any limits, you’ll receive an error message.
Can you get more than 5000 items from SharePoint?
You can set top count to any value up to 5000, but no more. The field will accept a larger figure, but it will not retrieve more than 5000 items. So getting 5,000 items is easy, how about the rest? To get every item in the list, a loop is required that runs until there are no more records.
