Zip Upload in DAM

In our project, the Business wants to uploaded all downloadable images in a single ZIP file into DAM for end users to download. The overall size of the zip file comes around 900 MB. Is it okay to upload such a huge file into DAM? Though DAM can take files of any size, should we recommend any optimal size of the ZIP file to avoid any issue?

Hi,

   If requirement is just to upload and download then you can place in any directory & should not be dam. Note based on how you are downloading through asset share or webdav or through download selector etc..   You need to plan well for heap memory allocation to server.  You can arrive to optimal size based on max time user can wait to download, network latency and how you are downloading. Personally would recommend to make use of download by chunck.
