Specifying the Download/Upload Size Restriction

The Download/Upload size restriction can be configured from 1 MB to 2 GB. The default value is 500 MB for new installations and 2 GB for existing users.

File transfers above 500 MB for a new installation or 2 GB for upgrading customers will be blocked. The 2 GB limit can be overridden for specific users and routes:

To override the Global Download/Upload Size Restriction and allow access to file transfers above 2 GB without scanning the content, use the 'Size Bypass' content rule.
To override the Global Download Size Restriction within the 2 GB limit and scan the content, use the existing 'Download Size Restriction' content rule. You can reduce the global setting or increase the global setting where the global setting is below 2 GB.

The Global Download/Upload Size Restriction rule only applies to policy routes containing content rules. If a web policy route does not contain any content rules, the global size restriction will not apply.

To specify the Download/Upload Size Restriction:

Click Policy > Global Web Policy. The Global Web Policy page is displayed.
In the Download/Upload Size Restriction section, click Click here to change these settings.
Enter a size threshold in megabytes. The default is 500 MB for new users and 2040 MB for existing users.
Select a Block Page from the list. The default is Block Page for Global Size Restriction.

Click Save.
Apply the policy.
