Hi There,
When I set the maximum file size limit, does the verification happens on the client side, or server side?
If it happen on the server file, does it upload the entire file to the server first before testing the file size or will it stop uploading as soon as it reach the limit?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi,
The verification happens on the server side but before the actual file is being uploaded. When the browser uploads the file to the server, it first sends a header to the server, then the file contents. The header includes the file size. As soon as we see the file size in the header exceeding the limits, we will terminate the upload so the actual file is not uploaded.
Thanks!
