iCloud Drive Files Limitations

I

iMore Question

When trying to add Documents folder and Desktop to iCloud Drive, I get an error:
"Your Documents and Desktop folders cannot be stored on iCloud Drive.
You have too many files, too many files in a single folder, or too many nested folders in your Documents or Desktop folders."

Question: What are the limitations for nesting and file numbers?
Thanks.

You're only given 5 gigs of iCloud storage for free. If you are storing more than that you'll either have to pay or remove files to get below 5 gigs.
