I am developing a plugin that is for uploading multiple files but the issue that I am having is that I am using context.uploadcontent and it is giving me an error (I have shared an image). I also want to mention that I have tried bubble default multi file uploader and it also gives an error when a file larger that 50 MBs is uploaded. Is there some thing that I am doing wrong or is it just a platform limitation.

I am also not able to find enough documentation on the upload file function.

Just to double-check: is this checked?

That’s the legacy method, and as you’ve discovered, it’s limited to 50MB. The new method which supports large files is called `uploadFile()`, and it’s located on the **instance** object - not the **context** object. You should see it after enabling it as @rico.trevisan has shown.

really appreciate it. it is what i needed. it is working but I think bubble has not provided enough documentation for this.
