Are we able to upgrade the upload limit of 2G

The browser interface for AEM Assets currently has a file size upload limit of 2G. Is there a plan that allows us to increase that limit?

    Closing the loop on this one - I can confirm that there is no default upload limit in AEM CS.

    The limit ​@dmescia2  had observed was coming from an overlay of ‘/libs/dam/gui/content/assets/jcr:content/actions/secondary/create/items/fileupload’ under /apps which was applying the AEM 6.5 upload size limit.

    ​@dmescia2 I am not sure about Adobe upcoming pipeline on this. Tagging ​@kautuk_sahni if he has any visibility on this.
     

    But you can always customize the upload limit at your end. You can overwrite this limit by going into CRXDE Lite and creating a node under the /apps directory detailed in here: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/assets/managing/managing-video-assets.html?lang=en#configuration-to-upload-assets-that-are-larger-than-gb

    Note: It can extended up to 30 GB.

      ​@Vishal_Anand That article is for on prem. We are in the cloud. Are we still able to up upscale it in the cloud as well?

      ​@dmescia2 There effectively no upload size limitation on Cloud.

      Hi ​@dmescia2 ,

      Do you really wish to upload such heavy assets directly from the user interface? Based on my experience even if we increase the upload limit, we still bump into request timeouts and browser issues.

      To acknowledge these problems, Adobe recommends multi-part requests to upload (heavy) assets. I would strongly recommend writing a small utility based on multi-part api to upload assets. It is not a heavy weight solution and you get rid of browser issues, timeouts etc.

      I hope it helps. Thanks!

      100% agree with this. Files larger than 2 GB are definitely risk to platform performance.
