    The memory limit is controlled by a few things, availability of memory on the host where the plugin resides and upload size limits defined in the php.ini file for the host where the plugin resides. When sending a file to dropbox the entire file gets loaded into memory before being sent to Dropbox which is an unavoidable downfall of the API.

    Hi smurf
    Looking forward to trying your form.
    Just checking on the file size issue – are you saying that the limit is set only by my host server and php.ini capacity and that there is no issue so far as the plugin and Dropbox are concerned?
    Thanks

    Hi Jason,

    That is pretty much the case. The biggest issue is that the complete file has to be loaded into memory before being sent to Dropbox. Next would be a few settings in php.ini if you are looking to upload more than 10mb which I think is the default.

    Hi Smurf – I love this plugin and it works great for uploading actor headshots and resumes. I’m having issues with the demo reel uploads. As a test, I’m trying to upload a .mov file that’s 132mb. Is the limit set by host server something I can request to change or am I at their mercy? Also, what settings in php.ini would need to be tweaked. Or…is there another avenue for me to have members upload large .mov files?
