There's certain configuration properties on the component itself ([link](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/components/perspective-components/perspective-input-palette/perspective-file-upload)). At larger file sizes (hundreds of megabytes?) you might start to hit limits with our webserver's default configurations. > [@Miguel\_Villasenor\_Es](#): > > can the file upload component take a zip folder and extract all of the files and upload them You can absolutely upload a zip file. There's no built-in handling for separating out the internal files, but it's definitely possible to script something to do so. You _can_ use Python's `zipfile` (e.g. code: [Can't extract .gwbk with zipfile.ZipFile on Windows (works fine in Linux)](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/cant-extract-gwbk-with-zipfile-zipfile-on-windows-works-fine-in-linux/89989)) but I'd recommend using Java's standard library (also mentioned in the above post). --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/is-there-a-file-size-limit-and-a-file-count-limit-when-uploading-to-the-file-upload-component/92221)._
