Hello, I'm planning to change the following property values to change the attachment limit.
Please let me know if there are any risks associated with each of the following changes.
・com.glide.attachment.max_size: 1024 → 3000
・glide.sc.variable.attachment.default_max_size: 20 → 1024

Hi @MiY 

A 1 GB attachment size is still acceptable, but increasing it further raises an important question.
If that’s the case, why not recommend that users upload large files via a common drive instead?

Adding a 3 GB file will definitely impact system performance — especially when someone tries to open the same record where such a heavy file is attached.

As a consultant, I wouldn’t recommend going beyond 1 GB.
