Is there a file size limit?

Yes. Individual resource files are limited to 50MB each (Supabase free tier limit). However, if your first file exceeds 30MB, you can upload a second file (also max 50MB), allowing you to split large resources across two files for a total of up to 100MB.

File Size Guidelines:

• Dual files: 2 files of 50MB each (100MB total)
