Uploading video: get " wait for i.o --maintenace" message


 

Uploading an 800MB video. After completing the upload (so it says), I get a message saying "wait for groups io" and then 20 sec later a message that says: " group io maintenance: we apologize for the downtime and expect to be back shortly". This has happened several times. Any suggestions? What is the max size of a file to be uploaded?
Thanks
Fernando

I hope this is a home video.

You got timed out.

It seems to depend on server load and the speed of your internet connection.?

Any suggestions? What is the max size of a file to be uploaded?
I'm not aware of any fixed limitation.

Groups.io is not designed for cloud storage. My suggestion is to upload it to a Google Drive or some such and share the file via a link.

Bruce is correct, videos aren't supported.??
The timeout also happens when loading a large database with lots of addresses that trigger google mapping.
You? don't notice that you are being sliced along with everyone else who is on line.
When your required processing runs to the end of your time slice, you are bumped off.

Thanks for the feedback.
Couple of comments:
a. yes it's a video pertaining to an event of our group; filmed by one of our members
b. Bob says "videos are not supported " (?) Well...yes they are, we have several other videos of our group events in the io group already. Only this particular one has caused this particular problem and it may be due its size (?)
Thanks again for the support.
