Greetings,
I'm wondering if there is a limit to how large a single file can be to upload at one time. My members will be uploading PowerPoints and other dense files.
Thanks,
Emerald

I believe there is a 150GB limit. I remember having a ticket on this which was opened long back.
Hi Emerald,
We recommend that you keep single file maximums around 25 - 50 MB, although technically you can probably upload a single file up to ~150 MB. (Last time I checked, that's the max our tech staff told me!)
The case for not uploading extremely large files is because the larger the file, more likely the upload will fail due to some inherent limitation with http connection. There are some aspects of this we can improve on, but there are also things (the strength and stability of connection on the user's end) that we can never support adequately. 150 MB or more can also be a painfully slow download time for members, depending on the speed of each member’s internet connection, computer configuration and settings, computer memory, network capacity, etc.
I hope this helps!

With the kind of Internet connections that we have right now at 10 or 15 MBPS, 150 MB is NOT a big file.
Ok this is great, thanks! I was just wondering if things like PowerPoint presentations could be uploaded, and it sounds like they can.
Thanks,
Emerald
Hi Emerald,
Yes, you sure can upload Power Point Presentations.
