Does not open large files (80MB)

I am trying to open a large 80MB file with several worksheets containing many rows.

When I open the file from owncloud, I get the error message ‘The size exceeds the setting for your server.’

I have OnlyOffice with the default settings, which, given the basic configuration of 80MB, should open it without any problems.

The log shown by the converter’s docker out.log is as follows:

I have this message on owncloud.log:

Hello @dario.ugliola

Default value for spreadsheets is 300MB in uncompressed state. You can check the uncompressed size of your file by downloading a copy of the file locally, changing its extension to .zip and unpacking the archive. It must not exceed 300MB in that state. If it exceeds, then please refer to this comment to find information on how to increase limits:

The xlsx file uploaded to our owncloud is approximately 80MB. If I try to compress the file into a zip file, it becomes approximately 75MB.

The setting should open 300MB xlsx files.

The goal is to uncompress the file, not to compress it. OOXML files (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX) are already archives, thus you need to change the extension of your XLSX file to ZIP, then extract contents of the resulting archive to see its uncompressed size.

Thank you, I understand how it works.

The file actually exceeded 500MB, but once the value was increased, the file opened.

Now work correctly

I am glad to know. Closing the topic as solved.
