		rsync on April 2, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Google Drive does a surprise rollout of file limit... Not average, but normal. What I mean is, they just have a plain old rsync.net account and pay no premium nor incur any penalty for using all of those inodes. You are correct: the average customer does not use billions of inodes.

Well I interpreted "normal" to mean "does not have many petabytes of data", and if those tools are reaching a billion files with smaller amounts of data then I'm very confused about how it's happening.
