Idea:
Instead of controlling the size limit per file, an option to control the size limit of a File Upload control would allow for a more flexible configuration.
For example, radio buttons within the File Upload control to set file size limit mode of configuration either by total files or by per file.
By setting to configure by total files, it would allow for more flexibility while per file would allow for a stricter control over file uploads.
By implementing this, you could set a hard limit on the total size of all files combined in a single File Upload control.
For example by setting the hard limit of the File Upload control to 25MB with this feature, you could have the following combinations:
But if we were to go by current features, to set the hard limit to 25MB, you would have to set to
5 Files limit with 5MB per file limit.
Including many other restricting combinations such as 25 Files limit with 1MB per file limit or 2 Files limit with 12.5MB per file limit.
For example by setting the File Upload control to 5 Files limit with 5MB per file (25MB in total),
the only way to fully utilize the control would only be a combination of 5 Files with 5MB per file.
There is little to no flexibility.
All in all, keeping the current way of setting size limits is fine but implementing this allows for a much more effective use of the File Uploads control with much more given flexibility.
