This file is 150MB and should be possible to upload yourself.

I had tried that, but still received an error that the file was too large.

In any event, I have a higher res version for upload—twice the file size.

2*150=300MB

Still too small. Please seek support in uploading your file normally, it's not above the documented limit at which we might do it through this process.

I get "This file is bigger than the server is configured to allow" with both files.
(Also see my screenshot, which says "Maximum file size: 100 MB")

From https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Server-side_upload

although files up to 1.99 GiB = 2,146,435,072 bytes may be uploaded using the Upload Wizard and chunked uploading

Please change your preferences as shown in https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Chunked_uploads and then use *Special:UploadWizard*.

Thanks—I had chunked uploading checked but was using the standard (direct) upload. Is there any way to do the chunked uploading without the Wizard? The Wizard walks through the license info when I've already compiled that template manually. One solution I found is User:Rillke/bigChunkedUpload.js, but that's in beta and I'd prefer to upload directly with the website (but without the Wizard) if possible

I uploaded this myself but could still use an answer to the previous question
