Upload file size restrictions
Last edited: 9/3/2025
You can view the maximum file upload size from the docs. It differs based on your plan and on any bucket or global limits you might have already set.
Edit the maximum file upload size
There are two ways to edit the maximum file upload size:
- Global file upload size limit
- Bucket-level file upload size limit
Global file upload size limit
To edit the global file upload size limit, change the value of Global file size limit in the top section of Storage Settings.
If they are set higher than your new global limit, you’ll be asked to edit or remove any existing bucket-level limits first. The global limit takes precedence.
Bucket-level file upload size limit
Follow these steps to edit the maximum file upload size at the bucket level:
- Open a bucket in the Storage Buckets page.
- Select the overflow menu (three vertical dots icon), and then select Edit bucket.
- Enable Restrict file size and then set the file size limit for that bucket.
You won’t be able to set a limit that is greater than the global file upload size limit, as that takes precedence.
File size restrictions
Upload methods impose differing file size restrictions:
- Standard uploads can only transfer up to 5 GBs. However, for files above 6MB, the below methods are more performant and reliable.
- Resumable and S3 uploads can support transfers up to 50GB in size.
