Trying to link to a big file in the File system repository, I get the error "The file xxxx is too large. The maximum size you can upload is X MB." Doesn't make sense - the file is already up!

Can somebody confirm? Moodle version is 3.1.8 (Build 20170911).

Edit: Problem solved! I had the option "Make a copy of the file" instead of "Create an alias/shortcut to the file".
