Google Docs removed limit on file size
In early January, Google announced a new feature without much publicity - the ability to upload and play videos directly to Google Docs . Thus, in addition to documents and presentations, you can freely upload video files there.
A fairly decent list of video formats is supported:
Ultimately, after uploading, the file is played like any video uploaded to YouTube. But the entire cymes last update is different. I was interested in how it could be that Google launches support for video in Google docs with the limit on the size of files uploaded to 100 MB set by him. On the above link, you can find the following information: "The size of the downloaded files should not exceed 1 GB." From this I concluded that it was possible to remove the restriction on other files. After a brief check, my guess was confirmed. Google Docs with an appetite took the archive in 150mb and flooded it without any problems.
On the one hand, this news made me very pleased, as I have repeatedly used the Google Docs server to transfer large files for work. When the files were larger than 100mb, I had to use the services of Narod Disk , DropBox and other services. Now, when the restriction is removed, the files can be duplicated and uploaded to Google’s servers.

On the other hand, I don’t want everyone to start using it everywhere for pouring Varese and similar things. Apparently, this is why this news did not receive much publicity. Apparently, Google decided that those who use Google Docs on an ongoing basis will discover the innovation, and then it will be clear how to go ahead and make loud announcements. Anyway, it seems to me that the removal of the restriction will please many.
A fairly decent list of video formats is supported:
- WebM files (Vp8 video codec, Vorbis audio codec).
- MPEG4, 3GPP and MOV files (h264 and mpeg4 video codecs, AAC audio codec).
- AVI (used in most cameras; MJPEG video codec, PCM audio codec).
- MPEGPS (MPEG2 video codec, MP2 audio codec).
- Wmv
- FLV (Adobe: FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio codec).
