100mb file upload size despite disabling limitations

[Mastadamus]

I've set -1 to disable file size limitations for file upload in the admin panel. Despite this, I get an error message saying the file size is too big if i attempt to upload a file in a direct message that is over 100mb. has anyone else run into this? is this something in cloudron preventing this? Any suggestions?

@mastadamus Are you using Cloudflare Proxy by any chance? That has a 100MB upload limit, which made me think that's a possibility.

[Mastadamus]

no I am not using a cloudflare proxy.

I just tried to upload a video of 160MB after setting the limit to -1 and it worked fine as such.
Did you get any error message or some error in the app logs?

[Mastadamus]

@nebulon the only error i get is inside the rocket chat application that says "file size to large cannot exceed 100mb" No errors in logs. could this be a file upload max limit in nginx? I've tried both gridfs and webdav to my nextcloud and i get the same error message.

[nebulon]

What do you mean with gridfs and webdav to nextcloud? Are you saying you changed the default config for the storage in rocketchat? If so then this is probably why I was able to successfully upload that file and then we have to look for that specific integration instead.

@nebulon said in 100mb file upload size despite disabling limitations:

o

I got the error on the default settings for rocketchat. It defaults to gridFS. I then tried changing to webdav to nextcloud and still got the same error message.

I gave this a try in the demo instance and I could upload a large file as well. @Mastadamus Can you check if you are able to reproduce this in our demo instance at https://my.demo.cloudron.io (username: cloudron password: cloudron). There's a bunch of large sample files that you can upload from this site - https://www.quinticsports.com/sample-videos/ . This will help us figure if this is related to browser or your network or your server etc.

Also, the error inside rocket.chat usually says the exact number like " File exceeds allowed size of 1 B. [error-file-too-large] ". Does it say 100MB in that error for you? That would mean the File Upload size setting did not get saved for some reason.
