Hi all, Curious to know what is the maximum allowed file size that can be uploaded on the platform? [image] Currently, we have it at 184 MB. However, when I try to upload a file of 40-50 MB it fails to upload. Thanks in advance. Kanishk

[image] Ivan_Rapekas: The strange thing is 1mb size indeed, and you said earlier “about” 1mb, even weirder. [image] Ivan_Rapekas: the server is located inside intranet Any possibility of an unusual firewall/router/network/vpn setting ? Does the app give you an error, or does the uploa…

[image] Benjamin_D: Does the app gives you an error, or does the upload fails silently? Thank you for the support. I realized that external proxy might have incorrect body size setting. Just checked the log.. [изображение] Seems that’s my fault. Hope I’ll fix it soon and return the correct…
