Question:
How to upload large size asset files?
Answer:
Source files (including video files) uploaded in Vault should be under 4GB.
Files that exceed these limits can be uploaded through the Inbox directory on the Vault’s FTP server or via the Vault File Manager as Large Size Asset renditions.

Large Asset Rendition files must be under 100GB in size for upload via the FTP.
