Enable adding large documents

By default, four megabytes is the largest file that a user can add to a library. To allow users to add documents larger than four megabytes, you can specify another maximum size, up to two gigabytes.

To enable adding large documents

  1. Open the web.config file, which is located in the Open Client installation directory, in a text or XML editor.
  2. In the <system.web> section, add a line with a maxRequestLength value to override the default, and save the file. For example, to allow files up to eight megabytes, add the following line:

    <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="8192" />
