There is a new report on c:COM:Forum and T291137

Yes, it looks like the upload server (or some other instance) can't properly process files above a file size of 500-600 MB. It doesn't matter if it's an image or a video. For me, there was always an error with larger file sizes in the last months, so the error should be easily reproducible with a simple larger file. Factors like dimensions or pixel count don't matter here, image sizes up to 65535x65535 (4.3 gigapixels: largest dimensions PNG supports), work.

If I remember correctly, an upload of such file sizes used to work, but since a few months there seems to be a bug somehow.

Does uploading a larger file work for you or is this a general bug?

Thank you :)!

@Yann that seems like a different error that should be filed as a separate ticket ?

Not sure. It seems a recurrent issue with large files,whatever the format.
