Synching large files with CloudMe

Graham@SPCL
Is any one else having problems synching their library with CloudMe?

I've a small number of pdfs of old reports that were scanned by third parties. Generally, they don't have metadata associated with them.

Can anyone confirm that the issue is with my WebDAV server. These files will synch with Zotero File Server but not with CloudMe although the rest of my library synch OK.

This is a 7.4 Mb file
URl of 'handle.dtic.mil/100.2/ADA420324'

The following requires registration on the site with a real email address before download. It is another large file.
'www.iom-world.org/pubs/IOM_TM9903.pdf'

If the issue is with CloudMe I'll take it up on their forum.

    I have been using cloudme with files up to 100MB, so 7.4 MB should not be a problem. That being said, the service is sometimes unreliable.

    I can upload this and other larger files with CloudMe without problem. With these files I'd tried several times over two days to get the Zotero synch to work. Zotero successfully zips the folder and makes the request to transfer to CloudMe but the following error message come back and the transfer never completes.

    (2)(+0000058): progressMax has changed from 5020457 to 4597140 for request 'null/KF89QTWH'

    (3)(+0021907): Invalid progress for request 'null/KF89QTWH' (32768 < 4489216)

    (3)(+0000000): Invalid progress for request 'null/KF89QTWH' (98304 < 4489216)

    (3)(+0000001): Invalid progress for request 'null/KF89QTWH' (131072 < 4489216)

    Zotero technical support thinks that it is a problem with Firefox/Network/server or a combination. If somone has had a similar problem or can take the time to see if one of these two files fails on their setup then I know that the problem is probably with webDAV on CloudMe and I can take it up with them.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Please excuse me for necroposting, but I've just ran into a similar issue, and solved it. On the other hand, I cannot see any similar solutions on this forum, so, I suspect it might be useful for someone.

    • My WebDav server is IIS7.5 .

    • I've noticed, that the issue occured, when I added a large (~40 MB) attachment to one of my items.

    • I've verified, that windows explorer is unable to upload 50MB file to this WebDav share as well (the error message says:
      ================================================
      Could not find this item
      --------------------------------------------------------------
      This is no longer located in \\MyServer@SSL@MyPort\MyFolder. Verify the item's location and try again.
      ================================================
      ). If you do not receive such a message in this test, than you, most probably, have a different problem.

    • After a bit of googling I found, that IIS7.5 only supports 3e7 bytes (28.5M) uploads by default. This value could be easily increased to 2GB, via
      "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager -> Management -> Configuration Editor -> system.web -> httpRuntime -> maxRequestLength" setting.
      A guide with a nuber of screenshots could be found here: http://www.owenwebs.com/2014/04/08/increase-iis-file-upload-limits/ .
      Note, that "system.webServer -> security -> requestFiltering -> requestLimits -> maxAllowedContentLength", which is typically mentioned along with the previous one seem to be irrelevant here.
