MongoDB - Maximum file size using GridFS

Question

I am wondering what is the maximum file size if someone wants to store a file using the GridFS? I can\'t find any information so any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Infinity basically, or a more exact number would be how much your working set allows.

The GridFS standard implemented within drivers will split files up into smaller chunks and store them in a fs.chunks collection irrespective of how big the file is.
