Yes. File uploads are supported up to 256 MB. Acquia does not recommend uploading files larger than 256 MB in the browser. For uploading larger files, you should [take a different approach](/acquia-cloud-platform/help/94436-how-use-scp-command-securely-transfer-large-files-cloud-ide "How to Use SCP Command to Securely Transfer Large Files to Cloud IDE").

Note

You can upload a file directly in the IDE by dragging and dropping the file directly onto the IDE Explorer panel.
