Previously, some browsers could not upload files >2 GB in size. In particular, this problem appeared when using flash loaders on 32-bit systems. Now this is no longer so relevant, but in order to minimize possible problems, the restriction is still preserved in some places.

Which for example?

In the web version of the Cloud, you can upload files up to 2 GB in size. To increase the maximum file upload size to 32 GB, connect additional storage. Please note: files larger than 2 GB must be uploaded through the Cloud Mail.Ru application.
