Does the 'documents' folder have a size limit?

I've just tried to transfer from an external drive 360Gb of data to the Docs' folder (in fact I wanted to transfer the files to the main second drive of my new mini, but by mistake copied it to the docs' folder) I was told there was not enough space to do this.

I'm now copying the 360Gb to the main drive which seems to be going OK.

No, the documents folder size limit is restricted only by the size of your drive.
