Increasing the allowed filesize for uploads in inbox/deliveries?

The allowed file size are 50 MB. Most of us are aware of that by now and it seems like some of us are having problems to stay within that size whenever we're uploading files so we have to use dropbox or similar alternatives.

What I would like to propose, is to allow larger files for different user levels.

Let's say a Level 3 user are allowed to upload 50 mb. How about increasing that to 100mb for a level 4 user for instance?

What do you say about something like that? - Would that be possible?

The same size should apply to all levels. the load size should be increased and be the same for all levels because what of if the level 3 seller has a package to deliver that is above 50mb? it looks somehow discriminatory to me. other similar freelance sites allow the same upload file size for all levels of sellers.

Well giving the fact that we have a lot of free option of free cloud-based storage available, I don't see why SC must increase its upload limit, 50MB or 100MB it's not too big of a difference when I need to deliver something over 1GB for example, like high-quality photos and videos maybe.
So increasing the limit a little is not a solution, maybe integrating some sort of cloud storage feature in the delivery itself, that would be cool.
SC must be innovating like it always was if other marketplaces don't do certain stuff that doesn't mean SC shouldn't.

For me I can't see how I will ever need 50mb in messages or services but I can see how this could be a problem for some transactions. I agree with Cristian that perhaps SeoClerks should look at something that solves the problem of even bigger files that might need to be sent.

I can't see how it would be beneficial making different user levels be able to send different file sizes. I think making transactions as smooth and easy as possible for everyone in this regard would be best.

As there's several people who've replied with more or less the same answer I won't reply back to each and one of you. Instead I'll do this post. I do understand your point and I appreciate all your replies. When it comes to increasing file sizes for different user levels I'll have to take a step back and consider everything you've said in this topic.

The reason for my suggestion to begin with was in fact for two different reasons. First of all, to allow users to send large files. I personally think it would be better to make everything run smoothly on site without the use other sites like dropbox (in those scenarios a seller would need more than 50MB to deliver the service). The other reason, where I suggested this to be a benefit for users when they reach another level is simply because it could be used as another benefit. A reason for people to work hard to reach another user level.

With that being said, I do understand your points and I agree with you. I do believe larger file sizes should be allowed but I don't think it's necessary to add it as a benefit for reaching higher user levels.
