Hi Jen,

the 2GB limit you mention is a configured limit for file upload in Cocoon, the 
framework used for the XML User Interface. However you can increase this limit 
through the following property:
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace-xmlui/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/cocoon/properties/core.properties#L45

There are quite a few institutions out there dealing with files in the GB 
range. However, it may not be the best user experience to upload them through 
the standard web form. If the patron can deliver his data on a drive to you, 
you could use some of the server-side ingestion scripts to import this data.

e.g. 
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/Importing+and+Exporting+Items+via+Simple+Archive+Format

If it is your aim and ambition to provide a good end user experience for 
uploading large files, you may want to look at some promising work coming out 
of the university of Exeter:

http://blogs.exeter.ac.uk/openexeterrdm/blog/2013/01/25/dspace-submission-using-globus-and-sword2-update/

hope this helps!

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a best practice for file size and data size limits 
in Dspace.  I've read that there is a 2GB file size limit for uploading using 
the web form. We have a 50GB data set that someone want to submit to the AMNH 
Library's Dspace with average individual file size being less that 2GB. Is 
anyone else ingesting data sets this large into their Dspace?

Best regards,

Jen
