Hope it helps.
The limit is 2gb. To overcome this you can use the filestream feature. The filesystem used must (of course) not be FAT32 because you would then reintroduce this limit. check out this link:

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad
spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or
edit the question
and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it.
Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
