# 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

{% hint style="success" %}
We recommend, to keep these defaults.
{% endhint %}

## 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](/configuration/system-settings/cache-setting.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
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.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Our support team will offer limited support for environments with thresholds, that are larger than the defaults.
{% endhint %}

### **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**

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.konnekt.io/configuration/system-settings/open-file-size-limitations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
