File Upload Limits

A published guide from Survanta's public documentation.

File Upload Limits

In addition to your total storage quota, your plan controls the size of an individual file upload. These limits are actively enforced.

The upload-size limit and compression capability

Limit What it controls
MaxFileUploadSizeBytes The largest original size a single tenant-owned upload may be.
CanCompressFiles Boolean capability that allows the configured compression mode; it is not a second size limit.

The retired MaxFileUploadSizeBytesWithoutCompression key is not part of the active catalog.

How they behave

  • Who it affects: anyone who uploads a file (for example, survey media or attachments).
  • When it applies: at the moment a file is uploaded.
  • What happens when reached: content validation rejects an oversized upload before it is stored. Existing files are unaffected.
  • Compression: when CanCompressFiles is off, compression is disabled even if the platform compression mode is otherwise optional or required.

Relationship to storage

  • The per-file limits here cap the size of one file.
  • Your total storage limit caps the sum of all your files. See Users and Storage Limits.

A file can be rejected either because it is individually too large, or because adding it would exceed your total storage quota.

Special values

  • The current upload pipeline applies a per-file validator cap only when MaxFileUploadSizeBytes is positive and not -1.
  • Configure a positive value to enforce a cap. The active catalog currently bounds this value between 0 and 250 MiB; -1 is not offered by those bounds.
  • Total storage is separate: MaxStorageBytes = 0 leaves no storage capacity, while -1 is treated as unlimited by the storage reservation path.
