Big File Upload Element Properties

  • Chunk Size: This parameter allows large files to be divided into small pieces when uploaded to the server. It minimizes problems such as connection breaks, especially when uploading files of 100 MB or more. For example, if uploading in 10 MB chunks is set, the file is sent in 10 MB blocks and only the relevant part is reloaded in case of interruptions during upload. This not only balances network traffic but also makes the upload more stable. The Chunk Size setting is a critical parameter for the application's performance and user experience. The optimum value should be determined according to the file size and the internet speed of the target audience.
  • Label: It is a short informative text explaining what the file upload area is used for. It clearly understands the type of file that needs to be uploaded and the expectations of the system. For example, a label that reads “Please upload your identity document” guides the user and prevents them from uploading the wrong file. Label text can be changed according to the use case of the application and should be clear enough to enhance the user experience.
  • Hint: Text that provides hints or technical restrictions on the file upload process. It can include the file format, maximum size, or special upload instructions. For example, “You can only upload .pdf or .jpg files” or “You can upload up to 200 MB files”. It is positioned to appear in the upload area or just below the upload button and ensures that the process is completed smoothly.
