Does Anyone knows what is the max file size that can be uploaded through sharepoint?
I am facing an issue while uploading large file exceeding 1GB, i get an error:
Here are some solutions i tried:
- Increase the time-out in IIS (by default It is 120 seconds, this might be changed but we can check again).
- Increase the maximum upload size in the
web.config
file of the web application. - Increase the default chunk size for large files (Large-file-chunk-size: Stsadm property (Office SharePoint Server) ).
- Add the
executionTimeout
value. - Increase the maximum limit for Web Parts.
I tried these and i am still getting and error while uploading these large files, here is the error:
Sorry something went wrong, an unexpected error occured.

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\<Virtual Directory>
