I am trying to load a 1.8 MB .docx file into Google Docs and getting the following message:
This file could not be imported because it is over the 1 MB limit.
I have no idea why this may be, because according to Google I am:
currently using 1 MB (0%) of your 21504 MB
They also say:
You can upload files up to 1024 MB. Files converted to Google Docs have smaller limits.
Googling that error message did not help.

actually it's enough to uncheck "convert to google document" and upload it in the original format without conversion.
Changing the filename did not work for me when I renamed to ".jpg" and then renamed the uploaded document back. I could upload and rename, but the filetype was still identified as "jpeg" and on download the file extension was reset to "jpg" (which could be quite confusing for other people you share it with)
