I would say:
You had only this many files/pictures/photos? I thought you had at least a thousand files.
Only this much? (Or: Only this many?_ I thought you had at least a thousand file
Don't use "much" when you are being specific. The files are countable, so use "many."
Also, "Had you" is awkwardly elegant. "You had" is more normal wording.

No. Many is a group noun. It takes a singular. Always "this many."
