Comment (by samsen):

 The system will return a [maximum] of 10,000 container names per request.
 To retrieve
 subsequent container names, another request must be made with a 'marker'
 parameter.
 The marker indicates where the last list left off; the system will return
 container names
 greater than this marker, up to 10,000 again. Note that the ‘marker’ value
 should be URLencoded prior to sending the HTTP request.

 If 10,000 is larger than desired, a 'limit' parameter may be given.

 If the number of container names returned equals the limit given (or
 10,000 if no limit is
 given), it can be assumed there are more container names to be listed. If
 the container
 name list is exactly divisible by the limit, the last request will simply
 have no content.

 Example 4.8. List Large Number of Containers

 For example, let's use a listing of five container names
 apples
 bananas
 kiwis
 oranges
 pears

 We'll use a limit of two to show how things work:
 GET //?limit=2
 Host: storage.clouddrive.com

 14
 apples
 bananas

 Since we received two items back, we can assume there are more container
 names to list,
 so we make another request with a marker of the last item returned:
 GET //?limit=2&marker=bananas
 Host: storage.clouddrive.com
 X-Auth-Token: eaaafd18-0fed-4b3a-81b4-663c99ec1cbb

 kiwis
 oranges
 Again, two items are returned; there may be more:
 GET //?limit=2&marker=oranges
 Host: storage.clouddrive.com
 X-Auth-Token: eaaafd18-0fed-4b3a-81b4-663c99ec1cbb
 pears

 With this one-item response we received less than the limit number of
 container names,
 indicating that this is the end of the list
