Hi @ShahGaurang-3783

The document says "No limits on account sizes or number of files. File size limited to 5TB." for Data lake gen 2, while Data lake gen2 landing page says "Your Data Lake Store can store trillions of files where a single file can be greater than a petabyte in size which is 200x larger than other cloud stores"
https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/issues/47313

The hierarchical namespace (HNS), coupled with the DFS endpoint, is what enables the performance and security improvements. discussed in Section 3.
