Upgrading Download File Size Limit for Microsoft Sustainably Manager (MSM)

Applies to Product – Microsoft Dataverse

What’s happening?
Customers are experiencing issues downloading large files in Microsoft Sustainably Manager (MSM), where the system times out and crashes during the download process. There is a request to determine if the download file size limit can be upgraded.

Reason:
The default maximum file size for uploads in the Power Apps environment is 32 MB, with the largest size that can be set using the designer being 131,072 KB (131 MB). If the file size exceeds these limits, the system may time out and crash during the download process. The maximum file size setting cannot be upgraded directly; however, the MaxSizeInKB property can be updated via the SDK/OData API for larger file sizes.

Resolution:

1. To increase the maximum file size for uploads, modify the property "MaxSizeInKB" of the file column using the SDK/OData API. This allows for file sizes up to 10 GB.
2. If an end user can upload a file within the size limitations, they should also be able to download the same file.
3. If the property "MaxSizeInKB" is updated to more than 128 MB and the file is uploaded successfully, the user should be able to download the file without issues.
