Is it possible to attach files to Forms that are larger than 250mb?

I have a specific use case involving attachment of "building plans," that are submitted as part of a community development review workflow. CAD drawings in general are often extremely large.

Clearly I can tell the user to .zip it up, but just in case, I'd like to know if there's a way to adjust the max file size - and whether or not that file size was implemented due to certain insurmountable issues that may have come up during development.

According to the documentation, 250 MB is the limit. It doesn't mention a way to change it. I checked the web.config, and the two places where this is normally changed are set to completely different values. 250 must be enforced internally in the app somewhere.

Didn't know it was even referenced in the config, thanks for that information.

Could someone from LF confirm for me? Looking for this information to respond to an opportunity.

As Devin mentioned, 250MB largest file size that can be uploaded. I believe the limit is set there because anything larger, and I suspect forms will take longer to submit, web browser/internet connection may struggle with the upload of larger documents and submission of form may fail, etc.

As an alternative, when they submit the form, you could redirect them to a FTP site, where they can upload their large documents and then use Import Agent to automatically store the documents into Laserfiche.

If I followed this procedure (link to an ftp site where import agent would import the documents) would I be able to use the form data to name the document? If so how would I do this? My use case are arrest reports and I want to be able to insure the uploaded document will reference the case number and/or the defendant.

Thanks for your help.

The max file size allowed to upload is now configurable with Forms 11 Update 2(https://support.laserfiche.com/kb/1014352/list-of-changes-for-laserfiche-forms-11-update-2), you can change it to up to 2047 MB from Forms Configuration site.
