How can I change the max file size upload limit?

I wanna know where can I change the max file size upload because i have a system to upload files and i know some files could be really big like 480mb or 1.2gb for example. Is there a way to change it

you can’t. its a hard and fast limitation of the free account (I don’t know about premium hosting)
from this thread:

given that 5gb is the total size limit, youd hit that pretty quickly with files that size.

can I ask why you need that large a file for webhosting? If its for visiters to download or stream, that goes against the TOS, and you’ll be better uploading those big files to another service, and embedding them in your site (which is allowed)

Hmm i see thank you. Also the website is not a place for piracy. Is just i know users can upload very heavy videos such as realistic 3d animations for example

Are you trying to make a youtube-like service? If so, I think that’s against ToS because that’s still considered a streaming site.

I didn’t mean to suggest it was.

By downloading or streaming I meant that file sharing sites, and streaming sites (like youtube) are against the TOS, even if they are streaming legitimate content.

wait wait wait.. make a website where you can post multimedia files (text, audio, video and pictures) and interact with these post (like a social media) is against ToS?

A Facebook-like platform?

I know that streaming is against ToS, but I don’t know about a social media-like platform.

As long as the primary version of your site is to be a website, and media content is not an overwhelming majority of your files, you are fine.

The terms prohibit free hosting to be used as a storage provider.
