  hi @eloahsam - currently it is not possible to customize this error message, but I think it would be great to give more detailed information for upload errors. Feel free to open a feature request to improve upload error messages.

  
  
  

  In the meantime, you could add an admin description to your uploads collection / fields stating the max file size.

  maybe @jesschow knows how to access the fileSize via the Payload object in the FileUploadError

  The file size error should show even before calling any api etc,from the two links I see that you’ve sent it’s after api calls as these are file upload errors …so the input file size should also give a error aswell
