I use Nextcloud 20.0.0 with nginx. I modified php.ini:
max_execution_time = 7200
and /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default:
proxy_connect_timeout 7200;
proxy_send_timeout 7200;
fastcgi_send_timeout 7200;
fastcgi_read_timeout 7200;
In WebUI is written, that maximum execution time ist set to 3600.
Why? The transfer of large files is interrupted after approx 1 hour.
Thanks for you answer.
But normally Nextcloud settings allow uploading big files if correctly configured. Is this a bug? Did I configured wrong?
I’m sure that there are some parameters to configure (do a search in the forum as this issue has been raised quite a few times). I myself am using the Flow Upload app as an alternative.
Thanks! I searched for 5 days and read a lot of threads. But I didn’t find the correct setup 
Check your php.ini file
memory_limit = 1024M
upload_max_filesize = 16G
post_max_size = 16G
max_input_time = 3600
max_execution_time = 3600
upload_tmp_dir = /var/www/html/data/upload_tmp
output_buffering = 0
My configuration:
/etc/php/7.3/fpm/php.ini
memory_limit = 2048M
upload_max_filesize = 20G
post_max_size = 20G
max_input_time = 60
max_execution_time = 7200
;upload_tmp_dir =
output_buffering = 4096
I installed flowupload:
Clone the contents of the repository into your `apps` directory and rename it to `flowupload` , if necessary. Otherwise simply download it from the Nextcloud app store within your Nextcloud instance: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/flowupload
and:
npm ci
npm run build
Now NexCloud dosen’t start 
How could I remove again?
There is no need to change your php.ini. Nextcloud overrides the values anyway. In lib/base.php:
//try to set the maximum filesize to 10G
@ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '10G');
@ini_set('post_max_size', '10G');
@ini_set('file_uploads', '50');
but also in the same file
@ini_set('max_execution_time', '3600');
This is 3600 seconds = 1h.
So it is not about the size, it is just that any execution is simply stopped after 1h.
Unless you can simply increase your upload bandwidth, the solution is to increase the max_execution_time.
AFAICS there is no way to increase it, except edit lib/base.php manually and change that value. Of course you would have to do this again after every update.
WebUI and official clients upload files in chunks (in small pieces) hence the max upload size is not so important.
Make sure the timeouts for the webserver are high enough.
Thanks! I also changed @set_time_limit(7200); at lib/base.php
But it still dosen’t work. I get the following error message:
Connection terminated (skipped due to earlier error, try again in 2 hours)
Where could I find a log file? hopefully I could find some hints there.
Where and when do you get this message?
Regarding the logfile: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/admin_manual/issues/general_troubleshooting.html?highlight=logfile#nextcloud-logfiles
Where and when do you get this message?
I use Nextcloud at a MacBook, and if I click on the Icon in the menu bar, there is a popup window.
Check your /etc/nginx/sites-available/nextcloud
There should be client_max_body_size
So edit it
# set max upload size
client_max_body_size 20480M;
fastcgi_buffers 64 4K;directory /etc/nginx/sites-available/ is empty. I have a file:
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
It is set:
client_max_body_size 20G;
fastcgi_buffers 64 4K;
i have asked you to check the logfile which you didn’t do.
“icon in the menu bar” is not a precise description of the symptoms. You should be more specific or provide screenshots.
Under these circumstances I am out. We can only help you, if you provide us with a useful and acurrate problem description and answer relevant questions. It is not my responsibility to ask you for information several times. Good luck.
Sorry, I did, but forgot to give you an answer! There were only entries from 5 days ago. I added in “/var/www/html/config/config.php”
‘log_type’ => ‘file’,
‘logfile’ => ‘nextcloud.log’,
‘loglevel’ => 3,
‘logdateformat’ => ‘F d, Y H:i:s’,
to get more information. I find this line (sorry, is extremely long!):

I agree, but that’s the way I get the information, sorry. Hope log-file helps better!
It seems to be originating in SabreDAV, not Nextcloud directly. Maybe solvable by tuning PHP parameters. Check this out, maybe you’ll find a solution: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/16431
Here is a formatted output, for others looking at this (I’m not happy with Nextcloud loggin in JSON):

It looks strange. Last night I uploaded this file from a Ubuntu computer, and it works. It seems to be a MacOS problem. At WebUI I still get the information behind the file name “outstanding”
