This question was raised in our little Canadian MVP circle today and I figured if I took the time to reply to the email, I could take the time to post the answer to the blog as well. So… the default maximum file size for uploading to SharePoint is 50MB. This is of course very …

I’m a SharePoint fan (and presumably one of the reasons M$ expressed interest in awarding me the MVP, of which I’m very proud of the consideration).  Maybe I’m even a bit of a homer about it (a homer, for all you non-hockey fans is someone that backs up your team and only sees the positive, …
