How to manage extreme attachments ? How do you do it ?

[JIRA Autobot]

Hi,

We have many issues which needs big attachments such as 1gb - 4gb like databases, projects, documents etc. How do you solve this issue in your organization ?

Unless they need to be indexed (and I'm not sure you would....) why not consider putting them on a common shared drive & use a custom field to point to the directory & filename?

There's no theoretical limit in uploading but you may run into problems in Tomact, it's also likely to take up a huge amount of memory when uploading so you're going to need to test it. Have you thought about what if 20 people each try to load 4Gb at the same time?

It also looks like Atlassian wouldn'r recommend about 100Mb for practical purposes.

if you're on an old Jira (unlikely) you may run into problems with max POST size
