One million files on Bitbucket Repo

[Yashwanth Kumar]

Hello community!

I have a requirement to store one million files in a Bitbucket repo. Does anyone know what are the Bitbucket limits for a number of files in a single repo?

Thanks in advance !!

Hi @Yashwanth Kumar , @Milan Chheda [INFOSYSTA] is right with his response. If the reason for storing the files in Bitbucket is just as a means of storage, then there are better tools for that purpose.

Regarding the size limit, in Bitbucket Server the only limitation is the size of your instance, while in Bitbucket Cloud there's a limit of 2GB per repository. 

Let us know if you have any other questions!
Best regards,

Hi Ana,

Out Bitbucket server instance is hosted on-premise. We are creating datasets of an internal web application contains configurations files(JSON/XML). Each developer works on these config files and commits back to Bitbucket.

Can you elaborate on what are these files and why do you need them in version control? If this files are one-time use, then its recommended to use some file server (e.g. dropbox or something) then putting them in Bitbucket which is a code version management tool.

Secondly, on the limit for a number of files, it totally depends on the size of your instance. There is no specific method to know how many files can be in a particular repo.
