How to change the Maximum File Upload Size
By default SharePoint allows a maximum file size of 50MB that can be uploaded into any document library. This might be too much as you might not want users downloading 50MB files over your LAN/WAN. To change the maximum file size
1. Goto SharePoint Central Administration > Configure Virtual Server Settings from Virtual Server List Page.
2. Select your server
3. Goto Virtual Server General Settings (in Virtual Server Management)
4. Change the value of the Maximum Upload Size in MB's.
If you increase the file size limit, your site might occassionally time out for users while they are uploading files. To accomodate this increase the default time out property for IIS.

This is exactly what I needed; as a new person to SharePoint services, getting around the administrative pages tends to be a daunting task. Thanks for the roadmap!
Hi Sarah
This would depend very much on the performance of your servers and network. It might be worthwhile looking at your current shared drives and seeing what is currently being stored on there and making a judgement based on that. Usually a max of 20MB would work quite well.

Ronnie
Excellent. Thanks for this info.
Help!!!! We pay Microsoft to host our Sharepoint site (for now!) and all of a sudden we cannot upload, open, and edit files over 1.5 MG. We've done this in the past, and this has been happening on multiple computers -- many new -- with cleared cashe. Do you have a clue for me?
Thank you!

Hi, I am an accountant in canada (Québec) and I want to implement an extranet for ours clients. We want the clients to send us files (accounting data base) that are in average of 50 to 100 MEG. We would only deliver them tax return or financial statement (small documents).I was told by a friend that the size of the clients database was too much for sharepoint and that we sould implement a FTP site instead which is less userfriendly for the clients. The server is a Dell power edge 1900, 2 quad core xeon 1,6 mhz processor 4G of RAM 500MG of hard drive. Most of the time there will be one user only at a time but it could be 2 and exceptionnaly 3. Do you think that we could reasonably set a sharepoint solution for our usage. Thank you very much.
Ronnie...thanks for the site and the quick easy help to change the max file upload size. Tried finding sharepoint documentation first. Then did a quick google search and your solution was 4th in the list and hit it perfect. Thanks again. You are now bookmarked.

Thanks for the tip, but on my setup, things were not quite where you said. I had to go to Central Admin > Application Management > Web App General Settings
Hi David
Please note that this blog was based on SharePoint Portal Server 2003. Setting in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) will be different.

Im still getting the "http 404" error even after setting the maximum file upload size at the central administration and the maxAllowedContentLength in the web.config file
Yes, I am getting the error on files larger than 28 MB and less than 29 MB even though the max is suppose to be over 200 mb for libraries and 50 mb for list files.

user : requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="52428800"
I tried everything in your article and in others but it still wouldn't work. I had to call MS and they gave me a solution that isn't documented. I posted it on my blog: http://networkadminsecrets.blogspot.com/
thank you very much for this info. Exactly what I was looking for.
I am trying to set up an extranet for my accounting firm. Are these insturctions solely for Sharepoint Online? If so how do you get to 'Central Administration'? If not, what can I do to increase my file upload size?

Hi Debra,
Working with files higher than 2Gb is an IIS bound limit, so a 1,5Gb is a good limit to upload docs, what kind of docs ar you using?
Hi Daisy,
the maxAllowedContentLength cannot exceed 2048Mb, and it's recommended to put it lower than that.
Awesome post with informative content. Keep sharing.
