Configuring the File Upload step

Basic Settings

The Upload step in the DSpace submission process has two a few configuration options which can be set with your [dspace]/config/dspacelocal.cfg configuration file. They are as follows:

• uploadspring.servlet.multipart.max-file- The maximum size of a file (in bytes) that can be uploaded from the UI. It defaults to 536870912 (default=512MB) - Spring Boot's maximum allowable file upload size. For DSpace, we default it to 512MB (in application.properties). But, you may wish to override the default value in your local.cfg. Example values include "512MB", "1GB", or even "-1" (to allow unlimited). See Spring's documentation on this setting: https://spring.io/guides/gs/uploading-files/#_tuning_file_upload_limits
  • NOTE: Increasing this value significantly does NOT guarantee that DSpace will be able to successfully upload files of a very large size via the web. Large uploads depend on many other factors including bandwidth, web server settings, internet connection speed, etc. Therefore, for very large files, you may need to consider importing via command-line tools or similar.
• spring.servlet.multipart.max-request-size (default=512MB) - Spring Boot's maximum allowable upload request size (i.e. the maximum total upload size for all files in a multi-file upload). For DSpace, we default it to 512MB (in application.properties). But, you may wish to override the default value in your local.cfg. Example values include "512MB", "1GB", or even "-1" (to allow unlimited). See Spring's documentation on this setting: https://spring.io/guides/gs/uploading-files/#_tuning_file_upload_limits
  • NOTE: Increasing this value significantly does NOT
  bytes (512MB). You may set this to -1 to disable any file size limitation.
  • Note: Increasing this value or setting to -1 does not guarantee that DSpace will be able to successfully upload larger files of a very large size via the web, as large . Large uploads depend on many other factors including bandwidth, web server settings, internet connection speed, etc. Therefore, for very large files, you may need to consider importing via command-line tools or similar.
• webui.submit.upload.required - Whether or not all users are required to upload a file when they submit an item to DSpace. It defaults to 'true'. When set to 'false' users will see an option to skip the upload step when they submit a new item.
