No, The root folder is limited, but no other.

And that limitation may only be in Fat32 not NTFS.


First, note the limit is on the number of *entries*, not files and
folders. It's entries, not files and folders, because files with long
file names use multiple entries. The effective number of files and
folders you can have is always less that the maximum number of
entries.

Second, the FAT16 limit on the number of entries in the root folder is
512.

For FAT32, the limit on the number of entries (in all folders, not
just the root folder) is 64K.

For NTFS, there is also a limitation, but it's so large (in the
millions or more) that it can effectively be disregarded.
