Moodle in English: database 1 GB

database 1 GB

by Margherita De Lorenzi - Tuesday, April 7, 2020, 1:00 AM

HELLO HELLO,

I created a database for my students but they cannot upload their video because it says 1 MB max, so less than 20 seconds. Is there anything I can do to modify it or the only solution is zipping their file?

thanksssss

If your hosting does not provide enough resources you can't do anything other than changing the provider. The general documentation is here: https://docs.moodle.org/en/File_upload_size.

https://moodlecloud.com/app/en/ clearly lists the limits. 1 GB as the subject line says, is only with the largest amoung those packages possible.

This is definitely something for the MoodleCloud forum.

Yes, my argument has been moved so now it is in the moodle cloud. So yes, if I understood it correctly, I cannot upload more than 1 GB. So...I should do as William Lu suggested? thanks to u all

Workaround: Ask your students to upload their videos to Youtube (under Unlist category), or Office365 (of your institute), then copy the embed/shared link back to your Database.

Hi Margherita,

Based on other replies, I believe there's some confusion here.

The file upload limit, in Moodle, is set to 1 MB per default. This can be increased by editing your course settings (look for "Maximum upload size"). You can also update the default in the admin section of your site (search for "maxbytes" or go to https://YOURSITE.moodlecloud.com/admin/settings.php?section=coursesettings )

Please note that some modules, like Assignement, have their own "maximum submission size". This one can be changes, system-wide, on https://YOURSITE.moodlecloud.com/admin/settings.php?section=assignsubmission_file

The 1 GB limit for file storage has nothing to do with the database. It only applies to files "on disk". As suggested by William in this thread, you can use Youtube and embed the videos. If using a public system like youtube is not acceptable, I would suggest setting up Google Drive as repository (involves more work, but the files are private and do not count in your quota). More information on https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=353447#p1436755

Thank you very much Mathieu !

I went to the first link you sent and it worked out, but where can I find this one? https://YOURSITE.moodlecloud.com/admin/settings.php?section=assignsubmission_file

When you write "on disk", what do you mean exactly?

Thanks again to you all!

Hello hello,

It is me again. I really can't solve this problem, can you help me in a more concrete way ? 1 MB is ridiculous, this is nothing. And it is funny because I changed the options in the admin settings and now it says 5 GB so it should work better. But no, if it is me, the admin, to upload a video, I can upload whatever I want, if it is the students, it is always 1 MB.... so what can I do? Because in the database activity I do not think you can do a live video and upload it. You can simply upload videos already registered on ur computer.

thank you very much again for you kind help

Margherita,

It's possible that you updated the default settings for new courses. This does not update the setting for existing courses. You will need to go to those courses individually and edit their settings to increase the file upload limit.

Let me know how that goes.
