50GB size limit kills it for me :(

The big limitation is that each file can't have a size larger than 100 megabyte.

Maybe I'm blind, but what's the file size limit?

Hello, why is the file limit 5MB? can you make it bigger?

bdon Oct 23, 2023 View on HN

It does, but there is a limit of something like 500 MB for single files.

This is temporary, we may increase it in the near future. However being on S3 the largest we can go is 5 GB actually :)

Reading the title I thought the limit was that files had to be at most 5MB
