Set a workspace upload-size policy

Set a workspace upload-size policy with a controlled test, clear verification, limits, and recovery steps.

Last reviewed

Set a workspace upload-size policy is easier to verify when you use one controlled item and confirm the account, workspace, source, and destination at each step. This guide follows the current Dosya workflow and identifies the result you should see.

Before you start

  • Open Workspace settings > Policies in the current released client.
  • Confirm the active account and workspace, then identify maximum upload size control.
  • Use a small non-confidential test item and record its current state before changing it.
  • Keep passwords, API keys, recovery keys, private links, personal data, and confidential file contents out of screenshots and support messages.

Steps: set a workspace upload-size policy

  1. Open Workspace settings > Policies and confirm the active account and workspace.
  2. Locate maximum upload size control and verify its name or identifying details.
  3. Choose the required limit, save, and test one file below and one disposable file above it.
  4. Read the displayed warning, permission, progress, or confirmation state before leaving the screen.
  5. Confirm that uploads follow the configured size boundary.
  6. Refresh, fetch, or reopen the relevant view once to verify the result persisted.
Dosya workspace policy controls for sharing, security, and member actions.
Test policy changes with a non-owner account before relying on them. Open full-size screenshot.

Expected result

The controlled workflow completes and uploads follow the configured size boundary. The result remains visible after a refresh, reconnect, or return to the relevant screen.

Limits and important details

  • Available controls depend on the current client version, account plan, workspace role, policy, and selected integration surface.
  • Processing, indexing, background transfer, provider authorization, or storage accounting can delay a visible result.
  • For destructive, access-changing, or automated actions, validate with disposable data before applying the workflow to important files.

Troubleshooting

The expected control is missing. Return to Workspace settings > Policies, confirm the active workspace, and check that your role and client version support the action.

The operation is rejected or stalls. Read the exact message and check permissions, locks, storage, network state, source availability, and any third-party authorization before retrying.

The result is still unclear. Repeat with one small test item, then contact support with the time, client version, workspace, and a nonsecret error, delivery, or request identifier.
