upload_max_filesize indicates the maximum uploaded file.
Find upload_max_filesize, the default is to 8M
upload_max_filesize = 100M
It should be noted that, of the more than post_max_size upload_max_filesize settings as well.

Were you guys able to utilize that much capacity?

I do not understand this explanation. Could you emphasize it so well?

This is a parameter that should be changed inside your php.ini file.

Currently, it seems there is a 2GB cap on uploads, but there are several things that can interfere with that:
In your PHP.INI file:
upload_max_filesize
post_max_size
These should be the same, the files are technically "POSTed" and that directive will regulate the file size.
There are also methods of expressing the file size limitation on forms (which I presume you're not doing, as it is a bad idea).
Further more, the PHP code itself may be hard coded to prohibit file uploads of a certain size, or the allotted partition may not be large enough to handle the files.
Overall, any large files are best left to FTP uploads, even though PHP 5.6.0a1 adds support for filesizes larger than 2GB.

I didn't want to create a whole topic because my problem isn't huge
when I am putting these symbols in the field at my website - " and / they are automatically decoding into "
Do I have some decoding issue? Whenever I put this symbols they are transforming into that

This is a completely different question, you should have posted it in a separate thread. Anyway, it looks like HTML special chars were converted during the submission.
All depends on the context, but this could be done by something on the client side (the browser) or the server-side (your script).
More about HTML entities and how they are converted could be found in https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars.php .
