Upload 100 GB data into sharepoint 2013 site

Question

Hi Team,

I want to upload 100GB data into sharepoint 2013 site for performance testing.

I have the 5 document libraries.

I want to upload the 10GB data to each document library in the site using powershell.

Is it possible or not? Can you explain the detailed steps

Answer 1

This should not be a problem, but you can't do it in 1 go as the default upload size per document = 50 MB (see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff487972.aspx). I've created a tool that uploads documents in chunks, maybe you can use that (read the article as you'll need to increase some settings): https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/The-Migration-Dragon-for-628acae0 Maybe that's an option for you too.

after that i got out of memeory exception

I am trying to upload 128 mb file to document library

Answer 3

Does the site work otherwise? At what file size does it stop working?

Answer 4

You can increase the upload limit for the web application by going to Central administration and choose the web application where you want to upload your files and then under general settings- change Maximum Upload size to your liking.

Answer 5

Site is working fine.

But the I am trying to upload 128mb file to document library

and i already increased the web application settings as 2gb.

I changed the webapplication web.config to increase the upload limit.

Answer 6

Does it work with a 5Mb file? 25, 50, 100? What point does it start to fail and do you get any ULS errors?

Answer 7

How much ram do you have on your servers?

Answer 9

Thank you all for the reply.

I am able to upload the data upto 10 GB. After 10GB data, i am unable to upload the documents into document library.

Finally i found the problem is with data base server.

My sql server allows me to upload 10 GB data per database.

Because of that i am unable to upload the data after 10 GB.

Answer 10

This will be because you're using SQL Foundation, which has a limit of 10GB of content (in any/all databases). To go beyond that limit you would need a paid version of SQL.

Answer 11

Yes.
