I am using php-fpm, so what helped was:  
modifying the .user.ini in your nextcloud install directory.  
append:

upload\_max\_filesize=10G  
post\_max\_size=10G  
memory\_limit=512M

of course you should adapt the values to fit your need.  
afterwards restart your php fpm service and your web server service:  
e.g.: sudo service php7.2-fpm restart && sudo service ngxin restart
