ERROR_FILE_TOO_LARGE

The file exceeds an allowed size limit

ERROR_FILE_TOO_LARGE indicates that a save, copy, upload, or file-system operation cannot accept the file at its current size. The limit may come from the file system, storage provider, application policy, or protocol.

What to check

  • Record the file size and the destination type.
  • Check per-file limits, quotas, provider policies, and available space separately.
  • Verify whether compression or sparse-file behavior changes the effective limit.
  • Avoid assuming that free disk space implies that a single file is permitted.

How to handle it

Split, compress, or move the data to a destination that supports the required size. Preserve integrity checks when transferring the content in parts.
