Hi,
I came across syncthing while looking for a more efficient way of getting content to many devices. I’ve been really impressed with it so far.
In my use case I would have a single master server with multiple folders (up to 40) that are synced to multiple clients (60+). Each client would connect to a single folder on the server and the content would change rarely.
My question is whether theres a known limit to the number of folders that could be shared by a single machine and the number of clients that can connect to a single machine. I assume it will just depend on the resources available on the server but prefer to ask the community before I go too far with my evaluation.
Thanks in advance for your input
Tom

The largest reported cluster has 457 devices, and the largest reported number of folders on a single device is 458. See [http://data.syncthing.net](http://data.syncthing.net)
