Let me be clear - I think we decided that this was the reason we couldn't do better than 2GB. This may be incorrect.
Thanks for opening this issue, @rsteans and yes, this is a follow on from https://groups.google.com/d/msg/dataverse-community/yMi4KHy-T00/2gtmUYrxAAAJ
My understanding is that you're running Dataverse 4.7.1 on AWS with files stored on EBS (Elastic Block Store). I'm not sure why you're hitting this 2 GB limit. I guess we're hoping that when you move to S3 (#3921), the limit will be gone?
Phil,
That’s correct. We’re hoping that between upgrades and a move to S3 for storage we will either be able to upload more than 2GB at a time, or use an API to upload larger data.
I have always been baffled by this limitation, which I’d believed others were experiencing, so I’m curious to hear that we’re alone on this.

@rsteans could it be that you're thinking about the :MaxFileUploadSizeInBytes
setting? As it says at http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.7.1/installation/config.html#maxfileuploadsizeinbytes , "If the :MaxFileUploadSizeInBytes is NOT set, uploads, including SWORD may be of unlimited size." So you might have set this to prevent uploads of unlimited size. #2169 is related but I don't want to throw too much at you at once.
Well, DANS has the same problem with file limitation, we can upload only 5GB even with :MaxFileUploadSizeInBytes adjusted to 1TB. We think that bottleneck is proxy timeout (Apache) as we tested upload directly to glassfish by creating tunnel to our server and it did work even for 20-30Gb.
Hi Phil,
We'll take a look at that setting next week and see if we can sort through this on our end. I'd like to make sure we're not setting anyone on a wild goose chase.
Sounds good. Thanks @rsteans . @4tikhonov I'm glad to hear you aren't affected. 30 GB is pretty big! Maybe you should try out the Data Capture Module ( http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.7.1/installation/data-capture-module.html ) once it's farther along!
@rsteans any news? Also, I saw your tweet! https://twitter.com/TDLRyan/status/920835247826178048
I'm going to go ahead and close this one out.
TDL and DANS folks - @ccmumma and @4tikhonov - if y'all have some more info here and feel it needs deeper investigation, feel free to open it back up. Thanks!
I don't believe @CCMumma and @4tikhonov have permission to re-open issues and @rsteans has moved on (congrats! Check out the Dataverse mention at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/samvera-community/HMR1xK9JfmM/oxUVASKqAwAJ ) but they (or others) should definitely feel free to open a new issue if needed!
I have moved on, but these emails are now following me to Northwestern, so let me know how I can help.
I think we'll know more once we upgrade to S3, which we plan to do with our next production upgrade once 5.0 is released. If we still see the issue, we'll re-open. Thanks, all, Courtney
Hi y'all,
It is definitely possible that we're the only ones having this issue, but due to the limits of 32-bit, we've been unable to use the interface of dataverse to upload files larger than 2 GB. Tar'd files, etc... that need extraction are even smaller.
