Dropbox gives me an error when I tried to upload a high size zip file in the iPad app.
Hello,
When I tried to upload a high-dimensional zipper, Dropbox gave an error in the iPad app. Has anyone had a similar problem?

Hey Baris Karapelit, let's jump right into this!
Do you get the error when trying to upload the file using the + icon on your mobile app?
If you're trying to upload the content a different way, feel free to clarify.
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

I'm trying to upload a 300 GB ZIP file to my iPad pro, but I'm getting the error shown in the picture.

Hey Baris Karapelit, sorry to jump in. The error you’re seeing is most likely due to the size of file you’re trying to upload indeed.
Have you tried to upload a much smaller file? For example, an image file or a document? Does this work properly or do you still get the same error?

When I try a small size file, there is no problem.

Is there an upload limit for zip files?

The upload limit would be 350 GB if you're uploading through a web browser and 2 TB for the mobile app Baris Karapelit
For such large files, we'd recommend doing it via the desktop app.
