I'm asking this question out of curiosity.
When I copy 1 GB file into Dropbox server, it automatically updates in my local machine Dropbox folder but in file property it shows size as 1 GB and size on disk as 0, once I double click on the file it starts downloading and size on disk will set as 1 GB.
How are they handling the file metadata. are they setting file property or showing thumbnail which looks like a file or are they following their own filesystem like FUSE.I would like to know more about it. what is the logic behind this ?

How can I make Google Chrome automatically set the default download directory based on a set of rules involving file size and format? For example, I would like to save big files (>1Gb) to another volume so the hourly snapshot on the system volume does not include this file which I will not need permanently (space concerns).
This Chrome extension (Download Location Controller) allows you to save files in different folders depending on the file extension.
For my backup tool I tried to load a file in an OneDrive folder (mapped as a Windows drive), but trying to open a file from this drive results in error 223:
auto hX = CreateFile(L"O:\\BACKUP\\1.dat", GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ, 0, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, 0);
results in INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE and GetLastError() returns 223:
The file size exceeds the limit allowed and cannot be saved.
This is an > 1GB file.
Is there a way to get a handle without actually downloading the entire file, but only download on demand?
Is there a way to get a handle without actually downloading the entire file, but only download on demand?
If it means for one file, the answer is no as Jonathan mentioned. However it should work if you want to implement the tools to work with OneDrive Files on-demand.
When you use CreateFile to open a file which is not sync to the computer, it will download the scream from OneDrive automatically. The error about The file size exceeds the limit allowed and cannot be saved occurred when there is a setting on your client computer limited the file size when the files downloaded from online. You can refer this settings from link below or test this feature with a small size file which is online view only.

I have this 63KB php file on a remote server. I'm using Filezilla to work on it. Until yesterday, I could open the file, make changes on it and then save it on the server. But now it started to change the file after saving and uploading back is complete. What it does to the file is: it copies like the first 100 lines and then pastes it till the file is 63KB. I tried changing transfer to binary from auto and restarting Filezilla(even my computer), it did not help.
Edit: I have this problem only with large files(like 60KB)
Check that the correct permissions are on the file and directories. It could be that the user account that you are trying to upload from doesn't have the correct permissions so the file isn't wrote.
Occasionally when using FineUploader to upload .pages files, they got split into their components.
You'll see what I mean in that image. That was supposed be one .pages file. Any ideas on how to prevent this?
It looks like, in some cases, you are uploading a folder containing the component files you have mentioned. In that case, provided the browser supports folder uploads (Chrome/Opera), each file in the folder will be sent in a separate request. If you are simply uploading a single file, Fine Uploader will always send a single upload request, containing the file. If the file is split into pieces in that case, the issue is specific to your server code.
Older .pages files are actually packages: folders in OS X which are represented as a single file in Finder and open in an application when double-clicked. You can see this by changing the extension to something other than .pages and the file will appear like any other folder.
Newer versions of Pages (5.5 or later) saves files as actual documents which are like other files, except when the file is greater than 500 MB in size, as packages are more efficient then. You will see the following message when this occurs, giving you the option:
Older versions of Pages allows you to change this option in Preferences, whilst newer versions of Pages allows you to change this on-the-fly:
You can switch between a single file and a package at any time. Open your file. Then choose File > Advanced > Change File Type and select the type you'd like to use.

I've attempted to upload the same PHP file to my shared hosting server through Dreamweaver and Filezilla and in both cases my 2KB file gets uploaded onto the server as 0KB.
In Filezilla, I've attempted to upload in both ASCII and Binary mode and get the same result.
I renamed the local file, uploaded it, and it also ended up empty.
I created a new HTML file, 1KB, and uploaded it. It seemed to keep its size until I viewed the file on the server in which it showed up empty. I checked the server again, and the file was down to 0 bytes.
One strange thing I've noticed is that Dreamweaver marks the most recently uploaded file as "Checked out by: " - essentially nobody. All of the other files including files that have been emptied are "Checked out by: my name".
I'm at a loss.
I'd double check to see if the FTP server is out of disk space.
