Nextcloud Version: 16.0.0
I need to increase the maximum upload size and would like to do this via my admin panel as described in the manual, because this seems the easiest. However, there are no indications on where to find those settings. Elsewhere I saw that it used to be under Settings -> Additional Settings, but I can’t find that menu either.
Does anyone know where this can be changed now?
It seems like it isn’t necessary to make this change anymore in 16.0.0. The issues I was experiencing with uploading was due to the nginx reverse proxy that I’m using, which limits the upload size to 1mb. I edited the /etc/nginx/nginx.config file and added the following in the http section:
client_max_body_size 0;
After a restart I tested uploading a 950 MB file, which worked perfectly without going through the steps to increase the maximum upload size.
In order to increase your file upload size, you need to edit the “php.ini” file. I have installed NextCloud in a ProxMox container.
To find a directory such as PHP type “php -i” (without parenthesis)
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc/php/8.1/cli
Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php/8.1/cli/php.ini
Change Directory
cd /etc/php/8.1/cli
Enter the PHP Directory for editing
nano php.ini
Find and update - Max Execution time = 3600, Max input time 3600 (remove the ; before Max), Max amount of memory a script may consume = 2048 (I based raised this because I have 32gb of RAM), Max size of post data that php will accept-post max size =20G, Max allowed size for uploaded files-upload max size =20G, max number of files that can be uploaded via single request-max files uploads = 20
