is there a maximum file size you can make your limit too for file uploads?

TL;DR
Appwrite SDK automatically splits files larger than 5MB into smaller chunks for better performance and reliability. The default limit for file size in self-hosting is 30MB, but it can be increased if needed. The maximum file size limit depends on the provider or file format being used. For example, Amazon S3 allows a maximum file size of 5TB. You can set your own maximum file size limit for file uploads in Appwrite.

The default limit in self-hosting is 30MB, however as you know it can be modified to a bigger size. This limitation will depend mainly in the provider or file format. In the case of Amazon S3 the maximum size for a single file allowed is 5TB if I understand it correctly. https://aws.amazon.com/es/s3/faqs/#:~:text=Q%3A%20How%20much%20data%20can,single%20PUT%20is%205%20GB.

Appwrite SDK chunks files into smaller portions when the file is bigger than 5MB to prevent limitations and ensure reliability and performance: https://appwrite.io/docs/products/storage/upload-download#large-files
