  3. Open the service for which to manage the upload file size for attachments.
  4. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Edit.
  5. Press CTRL+F to find the "maxuploadfilesize" parameter under type 'Feature Server'.
  6. Provide a numerical value as required (remember, the value is in megabytes).
