Zip file "size limit exceeded"

Dear Webbrewers,

I do a test and I can’t reproduce such an issue in our environment. As there is no out-of-the-box way unzipping the file in the site library in SharePoint Online directly, I think that the error message comes when you use the unzip tool to zip the downloaded zip file from the site library in SharePoint Online. If yes, the issue should be related to the unzip tool you are using. I suggest you contact the zip tool support for the expert help. Meanwhile, some third-party zip tool such as 7-Zip may extract the downloaded zip file fine.

Thanks for your understanding.

Even when I unzip the file locally, I still can't upload an mp4 file that's only 1.56gB. WHY???? What use is this service if it doesn't support files that are under the file size limit????

Sorry, your files couldn't be uploaded. The upload might be too large or the server might be experiencing high network traffic.

Although the maximum file limit for SharePoint 2016 is 10GB and 15GB for SharePoint Online, SharePoint in general wasn't really designed to handle large files and sets default threshold limits at 2GB

Dear Webbrewers,

Thanks for your updates.

As there is no out-of-the-box way unzipping the file in the site library in SharePoint Online directly, using the Open with Explorer feature may also not work. I suggest you download the zip file and unzip it with some unzip tool such as 7-Zip as a workaround.

Meanwhile, I suggest you submit your feedback on our SharePoint UserVoice  to let our product developers know your ideas and suggestions for product improvements.

Thanks for your understanding.

Dear Webbrewers,

The upload should work and it may take a long time. I suggest you try the OneDrive sync client or change a network environment to drag the file to SharePoint Online directly to see the result.

Best Regards,

Dear Webbrewers,

Thanks for your updates.

As we can’t reproduce the issue in our environment and the network in your environment is fine, more resources need to be involved on the issue in your environment. I suggest you contact the administrator in your company if you aren’t the administrator and follow the steps in the article  to open a ticket as soon as possible to fix the issue in your environment.

I have summarized the issue and sent it in the private message for your reference.

Best Regards,

Cliff
