[Using Sakai] Fwd: Re: file size limits

[Zhen Qian]

Diana is right. The better choice would be using the in-site Dropbox tool. 

Thanks,

Can't they also webdav into their Dropboxes? If you set the privileges
correctly (add only, not delete or edit) in the dropbox tool, then students
couldn't cheat by uploading one file and later swapping it out after the
deadline like they can in their own My Workspace Resources.

Assignment tool is using the Attachment helper tool for uploading files. So
if "content.upload.max" property is not set in configuration file, the
default max upload file size would be 1MB. 

I don't think students can WebDAV directly into Assignment tool. But they
can first WebDAV files into their MyWorkspace Resources tool, and then
pick
the files in Attachment helper for Assignment.

Sean, 

Evidently students are uploading into the Assignment tool. Can your
students use Anyclient to upload into the Assignment tool and sidestep the
built-in upload protocol?

WebDAV doesn't honor the upload limit, so we usually direct users with
large files (>50 mB) to use that interface instead. There are other issues
with WebDAV unfortunately...typically we suggest using third party software
like Anyclient vs. the built-in Win or Mac OS services.   

We use a 50 MB upload limit through the browser and a 1 GB quota per site
at U-M.

Hi everyone,   

We are piloting Sakai
this semester with some of our Architecture faculty
and students. They are all uploading files for their portfolios and are
complaining about difficulty with the upload process. We have our file
upload size limit set to 50 mg. right now. I'm also wondering if the
students are handling the uploads on wireless connections from their dorm
rooms. Have any of you run into any difficulties with either uploads or
quotas on Sakai? Can you share the limits you've established or best
practices that seem to work with students in disciplines who typically
create large files - for example graphic design, art, architecture, digital
video etc? Any suggestions would be most welcome.   

Thanks.
