Increasing Upload File Size Limits (Joomla 2.5)

Your Joomla site comes with a preset maximum file size of 10 Megabytes (MB) for each file that you d like to upload into your Media Manager. CloudAccess.net does allow clients to upload larger files to our server, and there is an area in the back end of your site that will allow you change this maximum file size limit. This article explains how to increase the size of a file you can upload in Joomla 2.5. To begin, log into the Administration area (the back end) of your site, go to the Media Manager.

In the "Upload files" area (below the files) your maximum size will be indicated.

To change this size limit, click on the "Options" button in the toolbar. 

Inside the "Media Manager Options" area, on the "Component" tab, locate the "Maximum Size" (in MB) option, and change the upload limit to what you'd like. The maximum file size that CloudAccess will allow you to upload is 360 MB. You can always upload larger files through file transfer protocol (FTP). When you're done, click on "Save & Close".

Returning to the Media Manager, you'll notice that the maximum size you're allowed to upload has changed in the "Uploaded files" area.
