SharePoint Online - Large file upload from Custom List Form with enhanced rich text field

Hello Team,

 

I have a custom list with a field of type enhanced rich text field in SP Online and trying to upload the large file of size 500 MB. When trying to create a new item and upload a large file into the rich text field - (i am selecting the document library as the target for the file to be uploaded) - system is trying to upload for 1- 2 mins and then after i am getting the below error - 

 

The webpage at https://%3c%3cdomain%3e%3e.sharepoint.com/sites/TestSite1/_layouts/15/UploadEx.aspx?UseDivDialog=true&LCID=1033&Source=https://%3c%3cdomain%3e%3e.sharepoint.com/sites/TestSite1/Pages/Forms/EditForm.aspx?ID=4&AssetPageFolder=true&seed=0.9902945989382554&IsDlg=1mightmight be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

 

Can you please let me know if any one has come across this kind of issue & let me know any solution.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Bhanu

    List file uploads are limited to 250MB. Although your linking to another library I believe it still uses the same upload mechanic. Try something around 200 and see if it works. Go over 250 and if it fails you’ll know that’s it.

      Hello Christopher,

       

      Thanks a lot for your quick reply.

       

      I understand the limitations that we have around the List attachments 250 MB. But, I am unable to get convinced with the internal upload mechanism that we see now :( 

       

      Even i tried with adding the enhanced rich text field to the document library metadata. But, i see the same issue here. 

       

      Is there any other way that i can approach to this issue so that i can achieve the solution without any customization.

       

       

      Thanks & Regards,

      Bhanu

        What is the requirement just to attach large files or rich text and files? Or are you only using that to try and attach files?

        I’d recommend using PowerApps form that might handle attachments differently?
