 * Hello,
 * You can increase the upload max size from your php.ini file or you can use any
   plugin which will assist you in what you are looking for.
 * Here is an example of a plugin : [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-add-mime-types/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-add-mime-types/)

 * One of the files is 500MB, it is good idea to use the site server or better to
   use hosting like dropbox?

 * Hi [@mstudioil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mstudioil/),
 * Between your server and Dropbox you’ll be much better off with your server. Dropbox
   is made for file storage and syncing and definitely not ideal for a file server
   for downloads. If you wanted to move those files off your server I would recommend
   something like Amazon S3. It’s specifically made to serve files of all sizes 
   around the world.
 * Were you having issues uploading the files in the first place?

 * Hey, I can’t upload huge file like this, I have access to cpanel and can set 
   the file size but not sure if I can set it this large size, also I don’t have
   unlimited bandwidth so downloading huge files will break the site

 * Hi [@mstudioil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mstudioil/),
 * Ah ok, if a big file is likely to break your server I would do some research 
   into other file server options. WooCommerce will let you serve a file from any
   URL in the downloadable product setup, and it’s likely services (like our S3 
   extension) have integrations within Woo or WordPress.

 * We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved–
   if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
