When Bulk Transfers Simply Fail

When Bulk Transfers Simply Fail

Why External Storage Rate Limits Require a New Approach

Common Pain Points in Nextcloud File Management:

  • Bulk transfers fail unexpectedly when hitting API rate limits
  • Manual file-by-file transfers consume excessive IT staff time
  • Failed transfers require painstaking verification to identify what transferred successfully
  • IT staff must constantly monitor large transfers to restart after failures
  • No native solution exists in Nextcloud to handle rate-limited transfers systematically

The Business Impact:

  • Significant productivity loss for IT teams
  • Increased risk of data corruption or incomplete transfers
  • Delayed migration projects and missed deadlines
  • Frustrated users waiting for access to transferred files
