## Sharepoint Limitations

SharePoint has inherent limitations in its capacity to handle files. They are:

- Only 5,000 files can be displayed in a view.
- Only 300,000 files can be stored in a library before performance issues arise.
- Unique document permissions are limited to 50,000 items per list.
