Can't upload a 500 MB .csv

Hi, I'm trying to upload a 500 MB .csv file but everytime I try it the connection fails.

Why is it happening?, I have 5GB memory space.

Thanks in advance

We limit website uploads to 200MiB -- as you have a paid account, the best option is to use SFTP or scp -- details on this help page, in the bottom two sections.

Usually .csv (as most text) files have good compression ratio - sometimes even > 80%, unless they contain unique text-coded binary data... So try gzip or 7z :) Also, if the upload form supports it, some browsers could transparently .gz the file while uploading. But beware of Zip-bombs...

That's a good point!
