Changing Default File Size Limit

Files that are sent via distributions in the WebApps Client have a default size of 30 mb. The following message is displayed if users attempt to send a file to their recipients greater than the default size limit.

Note: The second line of the message is generated by the Internet Information Services (IIS) server and its display is contingent on the IIS server version you are using, and other factors not related to the WebApps Client.

Before you begin

  • Determine whether a change is needed for the default file size limit.
