With storage and document changes what is the limit of storing a single file
I have a high density ASCII point scan of a Star Wars prop that I want to store as part of a collaborative project. The file is 1.2GB and trying several time over the past two years would fail the upload at the 1GB mark.
I do work for several automotive and aerospace OEMs and I see single files in the 1-1.5GB range on this generation of CAD tools. I don't think I've seen a 2GB file yet.
Is this limit removed? If not can we get the limit raised from 1GB to 2GB?
i tried zipping it but the zip tries to import as a solid works assembly.
I guess I could zip and then rename extension to txt. But now we start down the path of spending more time on the workaround than the fix.

The Onshape Professional Plan has no storage limits. The new Free Plan also has no storage limits for public data. You can learn about our plans here: https://www.onshape.com/cad-pricing.
If your file is failing to upload, it is important you open a tech support ticket, and we can figure out why. There should not be any issue - Onshape was the tool the Rogue One squad used to share the Death Star plans with Leia (then, as you know she wasted time collaborating with old school files and droids)
You should find that uploads up to 2GB will work now.
Note that @darren_henry wanted a Star Wars reference, but this week belongs to the Strange...
