What is the maximum upload size?

Direct evidence upload supports files up to 350 KiB. Larger supported files use staged upload up to 25 MiB. Staged sessions use 256 KiB chunks and allow no more than 100 chunks. Each session expires after one hour. Production v6 verifies chunk hashes and the final file hash before ingestion.

How it works

  1. Open Upload controlled evidence.
  2. Select a supported file.
  3. Set its retention class and date.
  4. Select Upload evidence.
  5. Let the UI choose direct or staged upload by size.
  6. Keep the page open until final verification completes.

Example

A 12 MiB XLSX workbook exceeds the direct-upload limit. The UI opens a staged session and sends 256 KiB chunks. The server verifies each chunk, checks the assembled file against its declared SHA-256 value, then runs the normal ingestion path.

What this does not mean

Size is only one gate. Extension and MIME type must match the allow-list. Encrypted, malformed, unsupported, expired, incomplete, or parser-budget failures remain visible. A successful upload does not approve the content.

Next step

Check file type, retention, and size before starting the upload.
