[Node.js SDK] Bypass 2GB file limit?
Hello. Using either InputFile.fromPath or InputFile.fromBuffer throws this error: File size (2295467305) is greater than 2 GiB
Bucket limit etc. is setup correctly, the issue is caused by SDK. Tried to fix this with LLMs (Claude/GPT) and they wrote that "There is no way to upload files >2GB using the current Node.js SDK" / "Request streaming upload support from the Appwrite team for the Node.js SDK."
Is my only option completely ignoring the SDK and going with REST API instead?
TL;DR
Node.js SDK has a 2GB file size limit for reads. One developer suggests a modification to overcome this limitation. Attempted fixes with InputFile.fromPath or InputFile.fromBuffer result in a file size error. The AppWrite team does not currently offer support for files larger than 2GB in the Node.js SDK. Consider using the REST API as an alternative.Here's article I've found that says "Node.js has a (poorly) documented 2GB size limitation on file reads" and presents some idea how to handle this, but I cannot do it without modyfing node-appwrite package https://smoores.dev/post/overcoming_io_limits/
