# Binary File Handling

### File Size Limit

* The maximum file size you can upload/download in Flow Connect is **250 MB**.
* Files larger than this will not be accepted.
* Large files may take longer to upload/download.

### Considerations

* Compress files (e.g., resize large images or videos) before uploading to reduce file size.
* For files larger than 250 MB,&#x20;
  * Consider chunking (splitting files into smaller parts) where each part does not exceed 250 MB.
  * Or offload the large files to external cloud storages (e.g. Sharepoint, Onedrive, Dropbox) and link them in the apps instead.
