File Size Limitations

For the most part, Egnyte mobile apps have the same file size limitations as all other Egnyte cloud storage access points. That being said, mobile devices have significantly less powerful hardware components than laptops and desktops. Depending on the configuration of your mobile device (especially Android devices) and what is running on your mobile device's background, performance and failure cases will vary.
