No, you can't configure this at the moment. Feel free to raise this as an enhancement request on JIRA.

So, is there a fixed size limit? If so, what is it?

HI,
has this feature been enabled on Alfresco Community 4.0.d?
I can't manage to set the max file upload size before the content is temporarily put on the web server (even using web scripts).
This could lead to JVM Out of Memory or cause a denial of service if multiple clients try to upload huge contents.
The Alfresco upload Java api seems to rely on Apache Commons upload, which in the org.apache.commons.fileupload.FIleUploadBase.java class has this private parameter:

/**
180        * The maximum size permitted for a single uploaded file, as opposed
181        * to {@link #sizeMax}. A value of -1 indicates no maximum.
182        */
183       private long fileSizeMax = -1;‍‍‍‍‍

with the correspondant getter/setter.
Can I change this value through Spring or another workaround?
Any update or help would be appreciated.
