I cannot upload large (> 2GB) files to the Google Cloud Storage web UI

Question

I have been using the Google Cloud Storage Manager link on the Google APIs console in order to upload my files.

This works great for most files: 1KB, 10

Answer 1

In my experience, the accepted answer is not correct - maybe it was but something has changed.

I just uploaded a file of size 2.2GB to GCS using the web interface on Chrome 42 on Windows 8.1.

I would also point out that the question is about files > 2GB, and the answer mentions 2GB, but gets that from 2^32, which is 4GB, not 2. So maybe the limit really is 2^32 (4GB) - I haven't tried anything that big.

(It is still a good idea to use gsutil for large files.)
