⚠️

Limitations: The maximum file size is configured via the Storage Max Upload Size setting in the Strato Admin Tool. This value is entered in bytes. For example, the value shown in the screenshot below is 241,172,480 bytes, which is equal to 230 MB.

Note that the final upload capacity may still depend on external factors such as web server limits, network conditions, request timeouts, or security policies.

Upon uploading, only image files (.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .bmp, .gif, .tiff, .ico, .svg, .webp) and PDF files will have a preview. Other file types that are allowed but do not have a preview on upload include: .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .rtf, .odt, .csv, .ods, .ppt, .pptx, .odp, and .msg.

If more than 20 files are selected, only the first 20 files are uploaded, and the others are discarded. To avoid errors, it is recommended to upload documents in smaller batches of 20 files or less.
