File upload rejects videos over 500MB despite 2GB limit being advertised #935

Description

@satyamtiwari-1499

Description

The file upload flow blocks any video larger than 500MB, even though the UI and shared size limit constant indicate that videos up to 2GB should be supported.

Actual Behavior

When selecting a video larger than 500MB, the app shows:

"File size exceeds 500MB limit. Please select a smaller video."

Expected Behavior

Files up to 2GB should be accepted, or the UI/docs should clearly reflect the actual upload limit.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the app
  2. Try uploading a video larger than 500MB but smaller than 2GB
  3. The upload is rejected with a 500MB limit error

Impact

This prevents valid large videos from being processed and creates inconsistency between the UI, constants, and actual validation behavior.

Possible Cause

There may be a hardcoded backend/frontend validation limit still set to 500MB.
