Upload size limit should be validated client-side before starting the upload
Author: catchjkkkCreated Aug 27, 2026Updated Aug 27, 2026
Current Behavior
When uploading a file larger than the server's allowed limit, the upload proceeds until completion, and only then does the server reject it with an error message. This wastes bandwidth and user time, and may cause confusion if the user is not notified early.
Expected Behavior
The system should validate the file size on the client side (before upload begins) and immediately display an error message if the file exceeds the limit, preventing the upload from starting.
Steps to Reproduce
- Go to File Manager
- Select a file > 100MB
- Click Upload
- Wait for full upload → Error appears
