What is the maximum number of files that can be added to an archive?


The number of files, which can be added to an archive, depends upon the amount of available memory and the length of the file names. Roughly 128 bytes of memory are required per archived file for a RAR archive. For example, it is recommended to have 128 MB if you are going to archive millions of files. WinRAR has been tested to handle over 10 million files.
