The feature

I want a way to block attempts to upload files larger than 100 MB, Especially on the web interface.

This is motivated by shared albums where anonymous users can upload files, if using cloudflare tunnels for the connection, uploads will fail after a long while, making users frustrated.

I know there are talks about overcoming this 100 MB limit by using chunked uploads, but in the meanwhile, I want an option to block file uploads over 100 MB directly on the interface, before the upload is even attempted, so the user doesn't have to experience a failed upload.

I was just now looking into seeing if there was any discussion on chunked uploads being considered for implementation. I had experienced this very recently with setting up Immich on my TrueNAS server with Cloudflare.

I also spun up a personal temporary file uploader site for myself and getting chunked uploads to work honestly wasn't that much of a hassle (given AI did most of the heavy lifting for this project in particular). That being said, I know we wouldn't want to just generate something and pray that it works, but I don't think it'd be a long endeavor to complete, so the time would probably just be better spent implementing the feature itself instead of a temporary block feature.
