Known issue:

If Shinydrive Admin does not retain this setting and reverts to 2000 rather than what has been manually configured a hotfix has been released, version 2.5.2.5 and is available from support. You will need to refer to Applying A Hotfix for Shinydrive Server to update the shinydrive-server component.
