Uploading Files Larger Than 10 GB
Uploading Files Larger Than 10 GB
Files larger than 10 GB cannot be uploaded directly through the panel. Instead, upload your file to an external hosting service and import it using a direct download link.
Step 1 โ Upload Your File to an External Hosting Service
Upload your archive to a cloud hosting service that provides a direct download link. Some common services include:
- Google Drive
- Dropbox
- GitHub Releases
- Any other file hosting service that allows public direct downloads
Wait until the upload has finished completely before moving on.
๐ Note: Large files may take several minutes or longer to upload depending on your internet speed.
Step 2 โ Make the File Publicly Accessible
After uploading, make sure anyone with the link can access it without requiring:
- A login
- A password
- Permission requests
- Any confirmation from you
If the file is private or restricted, the import will fail because the panel cannot access it.
Step 3 โ Copy the Direct Download Link
Copy the file's direct download URL โ a link that points directly to the file itself rather than a preview page.
If your hosting service provides both a preview link and a download link, always use the download version.
๐ Note: Using the wrong type of link may cause the panel to download a webpage instead of the actual file.
Step 4 โ Open the Files Tab
Go to your server in the panel and click the Files tab.
Step 5 โ Select "Upload from URL"
Inside the Files tab, locate and click the Upload from URL option. This tells the panel to download the file directly from the internet instead of uploading it from your computer.
Step 6 โ Paste the Download Link
Paste the direct download URL into the URL field. Double-check that the entire link is correct before continuing.
Step 7 โ Start the Import
Click the confirmation button to begin the import. The panel will start downloading the file from the external hosting service directly to your server.
Depending on the file size and network speed, this may take several minutes. Do not close the page or interrupt the process while the download is still running.
Step 8 โ Verify the Upload
Once the download has finished, refresh the Files tab if necessary. Your archive should now appear in the directory. You can now extract or use the uploaded file as needed.
Troubleshooting
If the import fails, check the following:
- The file is publicly accessible.
- The URL is a direct download link, not a preview page.
- The archive has not been deleted or moved.
- The external hosting service is online.
- The URL was copied correctly without any missing characters.
