SharePoint Document Library Threshold
I have a SharePoint online site that I am uploading many documents to. In total I would say about 20,00 documents total that are all sorted in folders A-Z. I keep hitting the Threshold when uploading ...
The List View Threshold is 5,000 items per view, but a list or library can hold up to 30,000,000 documents or items.
Are you perhaps trying to store all items in a single folder or at the root of the library?
Probably at the root of the library. I have folder A, B, C.. through Z and they all have folders within folders and files at the end of images. I created a document app and tried stores files in there in the Document Center template since that was recommended by Microsoft.
Try to separate the items in folders not exceeding the threshold or in different libraries.
