FAQ

Thu, 03 Apr 2025 22:12:07 +0000

General#

Q: Why should I switch to Multiple File Operations for SharePoint On-Premises?
A: Multiple File Operations is our latest solution that consolidates and enhances functionalities such as bulk file download, upload, edit, check-in & check-out, copy & move. It offers improved performance, compatibility, and scalability compared to the outdated standalone Bulk apps. Additionally, it unifies settings, interfaces, and usage, providing a more streamlined and consistent experience across all operations. Furthermore, we will no longer update the old Bulk apps, meaning they might become unreliable over time.

Virto Multiple Operations Settings

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 21:05:02 +0000

To access Site Settings in SharePoint On-Premises:

Navigate to your SharePoint site
Click the gear icon in the top-right corner
Select “Site Settings” from the dropdown menu

For SharePoint 2013, 2016, and 2019 On-Premises versions, this process remains consistent. If you don’t see the “Site Settings” option, you may need to click on “Site Information” first and then “View all site settings”.

The Virto Multiple File Operations Settings page allows administrators to configure which multiple file operation tools are available on the SharePoint ribbon. These settings apply at the site level and control the visibility of specific Virto Multiple File Operations tools in both classic and modern SharePoint experiences.

SharePoint On-Premises Limits on Number and Size of Files

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 09:45:43 +0000

File Size Limits#

By default, the maximum upload file size in SharePoint On-Premises is 50 MB per file.
This limit can be increased manually via Central Administration settings (for example, up to 2 GB or more depending on your SharePoint version and server configuration).
To increase the limit:
- Go to Central Administration.
- Navigate to Web Application General Settings.
- Adjust the Maximum Upload Size parameter.
Note: Increasing the upload size limit may cause timeouts during large file uploads. You may also need to increase IIS timeout settings for stability.

Number of Files Limits#

Maximum number of items (files and folders) in a single document library can be up to 30 million.
List View Threshold: By default, SharePoint limits views and queries to return no more than 5,000 items at once without proper indexing and filtering.
File path length (including file name) should not exceed 400 characters.

Additional Considerations#

Unique permissions: Libraries with more than 100,000 items cannot break permission inheritance at the library or folder level, only at individual file level.
Versioning: SharePoint supports up to 50,000 major versions and 511 minor (draft) versions per document.

Recommendations#

Actual limits depend on your SharePoint version and server setup (e.g., SharePoint 2016/2019 often supports larger upload sizes).
When migrating thousands of files, it’s best to upload in batches to avoid performance issues.
Use indexed columns and filtered views to manage large libraries efficiently.

Summary:
The default maximum file upload size in SharePoint On-Premises is 50 MB, but it can be increased via Central Administration. Libraries can hold millions of files, but practical limits like the 5,000-item view threshold and path length restrictions apply. For bulk uploads, batching files and monitoring server performance is recommended.

Expected outage

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 20:56:25 +0000

The expected outage time ranges from two minutes to several hours, depending on your hardware and the number of SharePoint sites. We recommend that all Virto users perform upgrades or installations of the web part over the weekend.

For users with 100+ site collections, we suggest using PowerShell for the setup instead of setup.exe. Please contact our technical support for further details.
