1. This is subject to change, so don't rely on this number, but it's generally 1000-2000 files.

You can then call /2/files/list_folder/continue later once changes do occur, in order to get information on what (and only what) changed. You can use /2/files/list_folder/longpoll or webhooks to find out when changes occur.
