### Description of my issue
Hello
If I try to upload a file larger than 1meg into Standard Notes I get an error on all platforms of the Standard Notes apps.
So it’s a server config issue. Can anyone help me please to fix this? I’m by no means an expert, I can use ssh and nano so I’m not too frightened, but the instructions need to be as clear as possible for I am a bit of a thicky!!!
I have seen this somewhere else but for the life of me I cant remember where.

in Standard Notes NGINX config (`/etc/nginx/config.d/standard_notes_domain.tld.d/snweb.conf`), you can add (for 50M)
`client_max_body_size 50M;`

hello @ericg thanks very much for your reply, I do appreciate it. Today I had a look at this file and did the following changes:
```auto
sub_path_only rewrite ^/$ / permanent;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3002/;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_buffering off;
}
location = / {
default_type text/plain;
return 200 "This is where Standard Notes - Syncing Server is installed.";
}
location /files/ {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3005/;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_buffering off;
client_max_body_size 100M;
}
```
Have I put the
`client_max_body_size 100M;`
in the right place?
Many thanks

Thank you
