But we need in the screen of opportunities for line upload 2 GB, ¿is it possible with the articule top?

Thank you 
 

 

 

 

Hi, I think you are looking for File Upload Preferences.

 


In addition to Laura’s answer, the article you read is for snapshots, which has nothing to do with what you’re after. Changing the Max File Upload to 2,097,152 should allow exactly 2 GB.


Thank you so much for your support, but the size in that screen [File Upload Preference] is 1,048,576, it is not enough, for that we can increase the size to 2,097,152 in the web.config. THis is my understood.

Best regard    


Dary, I cannot change 1048,576 in the screen [File Upload Preference], I suppose that changing the web.config to 2,097,152, it can work in the screen  File Upload Preference].


What is your opinion?

 


Could you post a screenshot of why you can’t change it? Are you getting an error?

This could be a user permission that needs to allow you to change it. 


Thank you so much for your help.

I change to 2,097,152 in  File Upload Preference]

Please see next 2 screenshot

Best regards

If i try to upload a file:
 

 


That is the only place in my web.config file where that exact number exists. It stands to reason that changing that to 2097152 could allow what you’re wanting. You may need to restart the Internet Information Services service after that change. I forget if that happens automatically or not.


While you’re at it, you could make it 5,242,880 (5 GB) 😎  The File Upload Preferences will still regulate it.


Thank you very much.

I will request this change from Acumatica, and they will probably make it during non-working hours and then I will have to test and see if it really does what we require.

It was a pleasure working with you, see you soon

Best regards


If you’re dealing with files that large, you may want to ask Acumatica about External File Storage options like Amazon AWS. It’s much cheaper than a large Acumatica database.


Dary: 

Acumatica told me that 2 GB is the recomend value, more not.

 

5,242,880 will great, but it can bring problems?

 

Best regards


You could ask them for the reason behind that answer. If it is being stored in the database, I believe SQL has some limitations for file sizes. Regardless, files that large will take a while to upload / download unless you have super fast internet.


Thank you
