There are no current file size limits but I'd suggest ~ 100Mb for the present. NB: to use the storage you will have to install the OFS package (we should probably make this a requirement!): <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ofs> As way of background it is worth explaining how the default datapkg 'ckan' storage works: 1. It is backed off Google IO (storage kindly donated to the OKF) 2. We have to deal with the issue of allowing a general client to upload to this storage but not giving them arbitrary access to the storage backend. 3. This can be solved various ways (e.g. amazon -- at least with upload form -- provide a sort of signing procedure). We solve this using an upload proxy [1] implementing the OFS RestStore interface [2]. > It will be interesting to find out what new features can be added through the > plugin system.
