I want to know the file limit of folder in different operating system, means max number of files in a folder. Is there a limit to how many files to be stored in one folder or read from folder at one time.

Should be 32,000 on standard linux, If you use long file names for the files and folders then the number of files and folders available per folder will be reduced on the FAT16 and FAT32 file systems. The file size limit for folder is different for different operating system.

W98 machine > 28,000, If you use large numbers of files in an NTFS folder (300,000 or more), disable short-file name generation for better performance, and especially if the first six characters of the long file names are similar.
Maximum file size : Architecturally: 16 exabytes minus 1 KB (264 bytes minus 1 KB), Implementation: 16 terabytes minus 64 KB (244 bytes minus 64 KB)

Check Directory Size is a free to try Windows program that will visually show you how the hard disk (HDD) space is distributed on your computer. Use this software to determine Folder Size for Windows 2.4 (32- 64 bit)Folder Size for Windows adds a new column to the Details view in Windows Explorer. The new column shows not only the size of files, but also the size of folders. It keeps track of which folders you view, and scans them in the background so you can see complete size of all files within the folder.
