Re: Uploading large files to Azure - Split file ?

[Brad Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

When you say "uploading to Azure" is that different from uploading to your
company OneDrive account?  (sorry, MS is very weird in their naming things).

If so, MS does have specific upload requirements, especially for larger
files, where you need to create an upload session first using their APIs,
then upload using that upload session info.  This is all part of the G4MS
product we have and is taken care of in the background.  But this could be
different as well.

How big is the file?  MS also seems to still have limitations in some
places where anything over 4mb (true story!)  But hopefully for this that
isn't the issue.  It is for emailing using a MIME file in their email API,
though.  The Azure docs seem to say that the limit of the file size to
upload is 10GB.
