Cloud service rate-limiting

Cloud storage providers like Dropbox and Google Drive limit the amount of requests that can be made during a specific time period.

Transmit 5 has been designed to not exceed these limits.

That means during large transfer, an additional login may be needed mid-operation if the transfer takes a long time.

This issue potentially affects the following services:

  • Box
  • Dropbox
  • Google Drive
  • Microsoft OneDrive
  • Microsoft OneDrive for Business

Simultaneous connections limit

Due to these rate-limiting restrictions, connections to the services listed above are capped at two simultaneous connections.
