What is the best solution in Webflow for allowing applicants to upload a video file larger than the 10MB limit for single-file uploads?

TL;DR
  • Webflow has a 10MB file upload limit, so use external services to collect larger video files.
  • Use Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to create a shared folder and collect file upload links via your form.
  • Integrate Uploadcare, Filestack, or similar services to embed an upload widget in Webflow.
  • Use Airtable forms with file attachments as an alternative and embed them in Webflow.

Webflow has a 10MB limit for single-file uploads in forms, which makes direct video uploads difficult. You can use third-party solutions to enable larger video file uploads.

1. Use a File Upload Service (e.g., Dropbox, Google Drive)

  • Create a shared folder on Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive.
  • Generate a file request link so applicants can upload files without needing an account.
  • Add the link to your form as a custom field where users can paste the file upload URL.

2. Use Uploadcare or File Uploader Services

  • Use Uploadcare, Filestack, or other cloud-based upload services that support large files.
  • Embed their upload widget using an Embed element in your Webflow form.
  • Configure storage & automation to collect videos in your cloud account.

3. Use Airtable Forms with File Attachments

  • Create an Airtable form and include a file field.
  • Embed the form in Webflow or link to it.
  • Store uploaded files in Airtable without Webflow's file size limitations.

Summary

Webflow’s 10MB limit for direct file uploads requires a workaround. The best options include using file storage services (Google Drive, Dropbox), integrating third-party file uploaders (Uploadcare, Filestack), or using Airtable forms to collect video files efficiently.
