The issue you are facing:
Uploading files larger than about 500MB fails when using WebDAV. Tried Finder, Transmit, Cyberduck, Android FX file explorer. Transmit gives the message “request too large”.
Php.ini is adjusted, and reflected in system:
I have exhausted ChatGPT, and cant find the setting where WebDAV file size is limited.
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y
Steps to replicate it:
- Upload large (eg. 20GB) file using WebDAV
- Watch it fail
The output of your Nextcloud log in Admin > Logging:
BadRequest Expected filesize of 21001041268 bytes but read (from Nextcloud client) and wrote (to Nextcloud storage) 0 bytes. Could either be a network problem on the sending side or a problem writing to the storage on the server side.
