Max file size for Project Dabl

Questions

Hi.

Is there a maximum file size for uploading files to Projectdable ?

It appears my files were not uploading once I hit 20MB, but there was no error message.

I reduced the filesize and now it is uploading again

Hi @bartcant,

Thank you for reporting this.

The config on the UI and the backend is 32MB but it seems that the file uploads are getting truncated in the networking layer we are using. We are looking in to resolving this, and will have a update soon.

Thanks!

Hi @bartcant,

We were able to identify the issue. After the file was read it was base64 encoded
before being sent to the backend server. The backend server limit is 32MB and
with the base64 encoding the payload size increased significantly.

26.1MB file becomes ~34MB, and gets rejected. Content-Length: 34735762.
22.9MB file becomes ~30MB, and gets accepted. Content-Length: 30567622.

We have increased the backend limit so file size up to 32 MB are supported.
This fix is in pipeline and will make it to production this week. I will post
back here once the fix is live in production.

We have also included the file size limit in the docs. The docs update will
also go live later this week after the fix is in.

Separately work is almost complete on a internal service that handles files much
better. It uses a efficient method for uploading files, and increases the file
size limit to 100MB. It is in the testing phase and we are expecting for it go
live in production in two weeks.

Thanks!

Hi @bartcant,

The file size change is live in production, and documented at https://docs.projectdabl.com/quickstart/#file-size-limit.

Thanks!
