Summary of the issue you are facing:
I’ve opened a Github issue with the details, but in summary:
Attempting to upload a file that is greater than 3GB through the web interface stalls and never completes at the final chunk. I can exec into the container and see the chunks being written to tmp, writing to the datadir/user/uploads, but upload never seems to complete and will hang with a message of “a few seconds left” indefinitely.
[…]
The following situations do work with files over 3GB:
- Windows mounted network drive through WebDAV (provided the file is also under 4GB due to Windows restrictions)
curl --insecure -v -u admin -T <filename> "https://<hostname>/remote.php/dav/files/admin/test_4g.io"
Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):
- Install Nextcloud using the
values.yamlseen in the Github issue. - Upload a file >3GB through the web interface.
Log entries
Nextcloud
[no app in context] Error: Expected filesize of 10485760 bytes but read (from Nextcloud client) and wrote (to Nextcloud storage) 10477568 bytes. Could either be a network problem on the sending side or a problem writing to the storage on the server side.
PUT /remote.php/dav/uploads/admin/web-file-upload-219e6ce2ebc3f3f3/77
from 192.168.0.46 by admin at Apr 10, 2025, 4:06:30 PM
Web Browser
No errors seen in the browser console or network tab. As seen below in the nginx logs, the last chunk will PUT with a response of 201, and then nothing happens after that. The site will simply say “a few seconds left” on the upload indefinitely.
