+By default, the maximum file size for attachment uploads is set to 100Mb. When building GeoNetwork from source, this limit can be changed in `/services/src/main/resources/config-spring-geonetwork.xml` with the parameter `maxUploadSize`.
+
+For deployment on an application server, or for adjusting the limit in an already running web application, the value for `maxUploadSize` can be changed in `WEB-INF/config.xml` accordingly:

+```xml
+<general>
+    <!-- Size must be in megabyte (integer), 100MB by default -->
+    <maxUploadSize>5000</maxUploadSize>
+    <uploadDir>./data/tmp</uploadDir>
