Configure file size limits (Optional)

Out of the box, SharePoint allows you to upload files up to 50MB in size and Excel Services allows you to view files as large as 10 MB in a browser. Our new farm setup increases the Excel Services limit to 50MB. You can change these settings even further if users will be publishing and interacting with larger files.

To increase Web Application limits:

1. Navigate to SharePoint 2010 Central Administration > Application Management > Manage Web Applications.
2. Select SharePoint-80 and then, on the Ribbon, select General Settings > General Settings.
3. Change the Maximum Upload Size setting to the MB limit you want to set. (The maximum allowed by SharePoint is 2047MB.)
