For example, if you load large files, you might receive a 403 error message if the maximum upload file size is set too low. In this case, you must increase the maximum file size. You enter the file size in bytes, so if you expect to load files of 200 MB, you change the setting for maximum upload file size to 200,000,000 bytes.
