File Upload Limit
Hi there,

Hi ShiminCai,
There isn't file size limit (there is actually but it's big enough, so doesn't matter), but it's a single transaction limit - not guaranteed more than 150MB. As can be seen in your code you are using single transaction upload only. Is it so, or just something is missing in your post. In such a case you are setting implicit limitation from transaction size to the file size! You can use upload sessions for bigger files, so to spread upload to multiple transactions (every one smaller than 150MB). 😉
Hope this helps.

ShiminCai Yes, as Здравко mentioned, the upload method only officially supports uploading files up to 150 MB in size. For larger files, like the "521.5 mb" file you mentioned, you will need to use "upload sessions".
