Hello,

As i know that i can not upload a file with size more than 250 MB on SharePoint Online website. I want to know that if i can use Windows Azure as BLOB storage on my SharePoint online website.

Or is there any other way in SharePoint online if i can upload a file with size is more than 250 MB?

Thank you,

Answer 1

I've not worked with SharePoint so I don't know if you could upload a file with size 250 MB+ there but in Windows Azure Blob storage you can certainly upload a file much bigger in size. From the documentation, maximum file size is either 200 GB or 1 TB depending on the kind of blob (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee691964).
