Connector Limits
This describes the typical file size limits and transfer speeds for bringing data to the platform and exporting it, by data source.
Note that these limits should only be used as a guideline, given differences across factors such as internet connection, file type, region and your native cloud provider.
The limits when transferring data from or to a desktop are:
Desktop upload = 7GB
Desktop download = 8GB
If your data exceeds these limits then it is recommended you use a cloud endpoint instead.
AWS
If the native cloud provider for the platform is AWS, these are the transfer limits.
