03 / Website use cases
Where to use local file size budget
Upload forms often reject a file only after a long upload, with a message that does not say by how much it was too big. Local file size budget lets visitors check their files first: each file’s size, whether it fits your limit and accepted types, and the total, all in the browser with nothing uploaded.
