Open file size limitations

By default, KONNEKT limits the size of files, that you open on SharePoint or read from SharePoint:

  • KONNEKT will not open files, that are bigger than 1 GB

  • KONNEKT will open files in read-only, if they are bigger than 500 MB

We recommend, to keep these defaults.

Changing the open file size defaults

You can change the thresholds for "open file size" via registry keys. This may be a good idea, if you are restricting the cache size.

Please be aware, that this is about the file sizes, that KONNEKT is opening/reading from SharePoint Online.

It is not about the size of files, that you are writing to SharePoint Online.

Our support team will offer limited support for environments with thresholds, that are larger than the defaults.

Read-only threshold

Value name: OneDriveOpenFilesLargerThanReadOnly Value storage location: HKCU\SOFTWARE\GlueckKanja\Konnekt Value type: DWORD Value unit: bytes

Files which are larger than this size are opened read-only on OneDrive and O365 accounts.

Default: 512 * 1024 * 1024 bytes = 500 MB

Block opening threshold

Value name: OneDriveDoNotOpenFilesLargerThan Value storage location: HKCU\SOFTWARE\GlueckKanja\Konnekt Value type: DWORD Value unit: bytes

Do not open files which are larger than this size on OneDrive and O365 accounts.

Default: 1024 * 1024 * 1024 bytes = 1 GB
