Warning

You are looking at documentation for an older release. Not what you want? See the current release documentation.

Files can be uploaded in multiple applications such as Documents, Wiki, Forum, ... The maximum allowed size for the uploaded files can be changed by configuration for each application.

In Documents application

When you upload a file in Documents or Sites Explorer, its size is limited to 200 MB by default.

To change this limit, edit the exo.ecms.connector.drives.uploadLimit property in exo.properties file.

For example:

exo.ecms.connector.drives.uploadLimit=300

Note

As of 4.1, this configuration also takes effect on files uploaded from Activity Stream (using the Share function).

In activities posts and comments

In a message post or a comment, it is possible to attach an image through the CKEditor. By default the image size is limited to 200 MB.

You can change this limit by editing the value of the exo.social.activity.uploadLimit property in exo.properties file.

For example:

exo.social.activity.uploadLimit=200

```
