    Hi dwhitelaw, happy Monday! 

     

    When we're talking about files of that size, it's always best to use the desktop app and not the website. The app can handle content of all sizes. 

     

    However, when uploading through the website, there's a rough estimate of 50GB file size limit, though the larger the file the more problematic it is.

     

    If you have any questions, let me know.
