Looking at the settings, it shows the new size of 7340032. Which means maybe the wrong size is displaying, but you should be able to upload files as large as 7340032.

iBobi, as I mentioned above, I thought that that might be the case (internal settings updated even though display value was incorrect), so I tried to upload the spreadsheet, and it was rejected based on size. I tried again just now and it was, again, rejected, with this error message.

So, it would appear to still be size-limited.

Cheers.

I think I am at the limit of what I can do directly -- passing on to tech. Stay tuned!

Still the same error. The 200KB listed on the popup does appear to be the real limit.

Cheers.

While we're on the topic, is there a reason why .doc and .docx have different limits? See below:

Woo! Man, that was much harder to fix than it should have been. Software is dumb!
