NicolasKheirallahthanks for the reply. We have each folder represents a separate customer ... so how many document libraries we will need to create, if we should not rely on one library
i am not sure why 37,000 folders is nightmare, SharePoint can handle 30million items inside libraries between files and folders..
Just because it supports it doesn't mean you have to use it, this is why. It's unmanageable and strcuturally a nightmare to maintain. Because as you said, people are accidently moving files all over the place.
So what you have is a structure issue and you need to rethink how to do and implement it, Finding information is harder, files and information move around unintentionally, users syncing 37k folder is not good either from a sync and storage perspective.
So try to fix the underlying issue instead of doing a quick fix
