Upload large files directly from local storage

[GrozianDeveloper]

Hello,
I’m using Postiz in a self-hosted setup for our church media workflow.
We host Nextcloud connected to a local HDD/NAS, and we plan to automate social media posting from the same storage.
Currently, the main blocker is the media upload size limit (in previous versions were 1GB). We also publish long sermon videos, so files are often between 2–5GB.

I would like to ask:

• Is it possible to increase the upload limit from 1GB to at least 3GB (preferably configurable)?
• Is it possible to use media directly from a local disk/shared storage instead of uploading files into Postiz again?

Example: Postiz reads media from a mounted HDD folder or Nextcloud storage

• Media appears automatically inside Postiz without duplicate storage
• This would make Postiz much more suitable for self-hosted church/community media workflows.

Thank you.

Thanks for sharing the use case.

For now, Postiz mainly works by uploading media into its own storage flow. Increasing the upload limit may be possible through server/proxy configuration, but having it configurable inside Postiz would be much better.

Directly reading media from a mounted local disk, NAS, or Nextcloud folder would be a great feature for self-hosted setups, especially for churches and community media teams. This would avoid duplicate storage and make large video workflows much easier.
