Extra uploading space required!

Hi! I've basically created one asset which I want to upload on 1 October 2019. But turns out itch.io only allows 1gb of uploading space.. and my asset is 1.44gb in size.. I googled a bit, and found a reply by @leafo on a page. Here's a screenshot.


So, basically he said that:

  • Verify that you've compressed any assets you're using
  • Create a draft page with screenshots, trailer, and anything else about the project
  • Then, mail that page's link and your requirement to support

I've done everything..

  • As it's any unity asset, it's already compressed into a .unitypackage file.
  • I've a public page with trailer, and anything else about the project.
  • I've mailed the support staff.

I made everything a long time back, just mailed the team yesterday.. I just want to know.. will I get extra space? if yes, when? if no, why and where will I post it then?

Thank You!

If support doesn't answer timely, reply to my post here and I'll let an admin know. Please allow a few days at least.

Thank you for your attention :D

I just had the same issue 2 weeks ago, the limit is from the web front end only.  Use Butler, which is an integrated software for Itch.io

Are .unitypackage's actually compressed though? Maybe you can get additional space savings by zipping that package?

Ah, yeah they're compressed already. Probably wouldn't get much additional space savings, if any.

Oh I realised that I haven't updated about my status.

So, basically I recieved a reply from the support just one day after creating this topic. As @BearWitnessGames said, they also talked about "Butler". Um.. even after reading so many topic related to it.. I don't know how to set it up and use it. 

Basically, I uploaded my 1.44gb asset.. because I realised that 1gb limit is on the website. When I downloaded the itch.io app, it allowed me to upload assets upto 2gb.. So, I got my work done.

So, now can someone help me with butler? 

Hello Everyone,

How to make space to uploading data ?

or Where do I find extra space to store the data?
