Files that are larger than 20MB can not be attached to Support tickets. This article covers how to provide files larger than 20MB to Okta Support.
- Okta Support Center
- Files larger than 20MB can be provided to Okta Support by uploading them to Google Drive.
- Once the files are uploaded to Google Drive, right-click on the file and select Share.
- From there, click Copy link and send the link to Support via email.
- Support may need additional approval to access the file(s). If so, Support will request access once the link is received. Please ensure the access request is approved.

-
- Next, select Split file...:
-
- Choose the target size (20MB or below):
