'''Maximum upload size:'''
*In the example below a size of 2 GB is entered followed by clicking the Save button. When the next upload occurs a popup next to the upload button will show the maximum upload per file size allowed by the ownCloud instance.

*'''Versions:''' ownCloud can store old versions of files when they are updated with a new version. The "Files Versioning" setting effects the entire ownCloud instance, it cannot be used on a per user basis. By default, versioning is enabled. In this example it has been unchecked. Reason? Well first ask the question, how important is it to keep old copies of files in the first place? It might make sense in a small business environment for a shared directory. But for a home environment it might not be important. Each new updated file uploaded in to ownCloud creates a copy of the old file, it all chews up disk space. The ownCloud instance might not have the luxury of additional storage space. Additionally who ever takes care of the ownCloud instance will have to keep watch who is using up all of the system disk space.

====More on Maximum File Upload Size====
ownCloud after installation has a maximum default size of 512 MB per file to be uploaded. The setting can be changed to a maximum of 2 GB per file.

In some cases when uploading new files the pop-up message may indicate a maximum value that is less than the maximum setting. The reason? The user account may have a "storage quota" and there may not be enough storage space available. Removing files that are no longer required is one solution available to increasing user account storage. The other solution would be to have the quota increased for the user account.
To change the maximum upload size:
*Login in to the “admin” user account.
*Navigate to Settings => Admin.
*Change the current setting to the new value and click on the “Save” button. In this example the size entered will be 2GB.

*Logout of the admin user account.
*Login to a normal user account and hover over the upload button. The pop-up message should indicate the new maximum value set.
