  Hey @gonzam88 — I see what you're looking to do. And I think this is a totally reasonable request.

  As you've noticed, you can only specify global upload filesize limitations, but you can extend the built-in filesize field with a filesize field of your own, complete with a custom validation function that will enforce max upload sizes for you.

  Here's the built-in filesize field:

  const filesize = {
      name: 'filesize',
      label: 'File Size',
      type: 'number',
      admin: {
        readOnly: true,
        disabled: true,
      },
    };

  Just add that to your collection's base level with a custom validation function and then you're off to the races!

  I don't understand how to implement this. Can you give a bit more informations on where to add the filesize const in the collection and where to use it?
