That’s a real old link! I expect `maxPostSize` Tomcat setting still to be valid but there’s also `max.file.size` in the validation services for assets and images. See [https://documentation.bloomreach.com/library/concepts/editor-interface/image-and-asset-upload-validation.html](https://documentation.bloomreach.com/library/concepts/editor-interface/image-and-asset-upload-validation.html)

Beware to not set it too high though. The repository is not designed are storage for vary large files. 10 Mb, the default, is quite reasonable 🙂
