No file handling settings in GUI Additional Settings

Since I have my nextcloud installation on a hosted server, I can’t access nor edit /etc/php.ini in order to set maximum file upload size.

There should however also be Nextcloud GUI setting options:
Server settings --> Additional settings --> File handling --> Maximum upload size - box.

When I had setup my hosted nextcloud server, I set only me as admin. (no separate admin-only account).
In my Addional settings I have no File handling setting.

Nextcloud version 16.0.1
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 17.04): Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): can’t query (it’s hosted)
PHP version 7.2

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): y

The output of your Nextcloud log in Admin > Logging:

The output of your config.php file in `/path/to/nextcloud` (make sure you remove any identifiable information!):

The mentioned parameter need to be set outside the Nextcloud/web server environment, therefore it requires higher access rights and couldn’t be set the way you want it to be set.
You need to check the parameters of your web server/php configuration or ask the support of you hoster to set the parameter as requested :wink:

Tks. Strange though that I can upload with my NC login via the upload GUI really large files without any problem.
Only large file uploading fails when using a shared NC file upload link.
Also, why don’t I see a maximum file upload size settings box in my NC admin settings.
How does yours look like?
