Confluence Docs 3.0 : Configuring Attachment Size This page last changed on Mar 04, 2009 by edawson. Confluence gives you the option of limiting the maximum size of a single file attachment. Confluence administrators should keep in mind that the amount of disk space used by Confluence is directly proportional to the number and size of attachments put into the system. #### To configure the maximum size allowed for an attachment Go to the 'Administration Console' and click 'General Configuration' in the left-hand panel. Click 'Edit' on the 'General Configuration' screen. Enter the maximum size next to 'Attachment Maximum Size'. The default is 10 MB. 'Save' your changes. #### To configure the maximum index-able size of attachments By default, large attachment is defined as greater than 1 MB. The threshold for attachments that won't get excerpts can be modified using the system property `atlassian.indexing.contentbody.maxsize`, which takes a size in bytes. ##### Example To specify 250 kb you would use the following JVM parameter: `-Datlassian.indexing.contentbody.maxsize=256000` ##### Outcomes of Limiting Attachment Indexing Size Limiting the size of attachment indexing has the following effects: Decreases the size of the index when large attachments are present. Decreases the memory used in indexing large attachments. Prevent excerpts of large attachments being displayed in search results. For more details, please refer to the following JIRA issue. ##### RELATED TOPICS
