To convert the value into bytes, multiply by 1048756 (1024*1024). To convert the value into kilobytes, multiply by 1024. To change that, you need to modify the Exchange EWS web.config file(s) and configure some of the Transport Service settings via the Exchange Management Shell, as shown later in this article. To allow for a 33% increase in size due to Base64 encoding, multiply your desired new maximum size value in megabytes by 4/3. By default, MS Exchange Server 2010/2013/2016/2019 does not accept items bigger than 30 MB to be uploaded via EWS.There are two things to keep in mind when modifying this value: On Mailbox Server: %ExchangeInstallPath%ClientAccess\Sync\ web.config.On Client Access Server: %ExchangeInstallPath%FrontEnd\HttpProxy\Sync\ web.config.Specifically, the value is found within the web.config file located at: Then reset IIS for the change to take effect immediately.
