### Begin of the deletion Before filing a report

_Before you file a report, please ensure you are running the latest version of OpenProject and_ 
_have searched for similar bug reports._

###End of the deletion Steps to reproduce

Begin of the deletion _Please write down the steps to reproduce. Try to write down all necessary preconditions (what permissions do you have, are other users involved?). Example:_

End of the deletion 1. Configure server with 4GB of RAM and use FOG with AWS S3 for attachment storage. Begin of the insertion DirectEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion  DirectEnd of the deletion uploads.

2. Upload a large file more than 4GB (such as a video)


### What is the buggy behavior?

Begin of the deletion _Please describe the bug in as much detail as possible. Example:_

End of the deletion * The server tries to download any direct uploaded files for post processing. This is a stream, so ok.

* The server does post processing.

* The server tries to reupload the file with its content and such modified.  This will fail as it tries to put the whole file in mem.

* The job will then repeat at downloading a new file.  This will fill all disk space on the server till there is no more space.

* The real bug is that we should have a configurable threshold  `LARGE_FILE_THRESHOLD` that can be set so any file over that size doesn't do this download and reupload thing.


### What is the expected behavior?

Begin of the deletion _Describe how the application should behave like. Example:_

End of the deletion 1. Should not crash the job and should not eventually fill the server disk space (/tmp folder).

2. Should not have to download and reupload a large file that it is not going to extract text out of anyway.


### Potential Solution

I was able to write a script and monkey patch the application on bootup.  It checks the file size, and if its more than the threshold (50MB in my case) it doesn't try to download/reupload it instead finishes the job.  The script is attached here for reference.  I make no IP claim.  Feel free to use any/all/none as you see fit.
