Answer 1

I have just encountered this issue in SharePoint 2013 and after looking through the docs it states:

Content property on the FileCreationInformation class. Maximum file size that can be uploaded is 2 MB. Time-out occurs after 30 minutes. Use to upload files that are less than 2 MB only.

However if you set the ContentStream property, you don't hit the same document size limit. The documentation states:

ContentStream property on the FileCreationInformation class. No file size limits. Time-out occurs after 30 minutes. Recommended for: - SharePoint Server 2013. - SharePoint Online when the file is smaller than 10 MB.

There are some other options detailed within the documentation, but hopefully this will help other people that have encountered this very same problem.
