Is there a maximum size for uploading individual audio files?

I have Starter-Plus. I’ve been “humming along” uploading individual oral histories in MP3 formats and then adding the metadata.

I tried uploading one audio file over 150 MB. I received an error message during the Browser upload stage. It read “The file upload failed. Try again later.”  The error message disappeared from the screen a few seconds later. The error appeared nearly immediately after I tried to upload the file. It was like the system didn’t even try.

I logged out. Logged back in and still received the same message. I’ve waited an hour. Tried again. Still received the error message.

Any ideas - what is happening?  Is the file too large? Is there a way to fix this without breaking up the file into smaller chunks?

I have a few more files that are just as large. So I’d like to try and find a solution quickly.

Thanks!

 

 

Replying to my original post. I tried uploading the interviews again this morning. No problem. “Smooth as butter” with all. Not sure why there were the error messages on Friday. But it works now!  Hooray!!


Great to hear this resolved itself 😊
