Big File Upload Element and Upload File Action Relationship

The Big File Upload element is a UI element designed specifically for uploading large files and offers more advanced upload processes (split uploads, speed optimisation, etc.). However:

  • The Upload File action can be used independently with both standard file upload elements and the Big File Upload element.
  • In other words, the Upload File action does not have to be used with the Big File Upload element.
  • The use of the Big File Upload and Upload File actions together for large file upload scenarios can be detailed in a separate content.
  • The Upload File action is the general action used for all file uploads.
  • File types and sizes are controlled by parameters; extensions must be clearly defined.
  • The Big File Upload element is a separate component optimised for large file uploads, but it does not restrict the use of the Upload File action.
  • Server permissions, security controls, and mobile permissions must be taken into account.
