Hi all,
Is there a maximum file size allowed in M-Files?
From what I've gathered there's not a limitation to the actual file size, just to the size if you want to still be able to preview the document.
Would appreciate some info on this, thank you!

You are correct: there's no hard limit for the size of the files that can be stored in an M-Files vault, but different M-Files functions have their own limits. In addition to preview, at least M-Files Aino, full-text search indexing and PDF conversions come to mind.
Some of the default limits can be raised via vault configuration, see for instance Specifying PDF Conversion Limitations for Indexing and File Preview in the user guide.
