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
