I've been working on a web project for one of my classes, and my zipped file is about 2GB. When I try to upload it to Netlify using drag and drop, I get an error message after a while, suggesting there may be an issue with my adblocker or browser extensions, but I don't have those running. Is the upload failing because of the large file size? What's the maximum size I can upload to Netlify?

You might want to check if there are any unsupported files in your zip. Typically, I've only dealt with HTML, CSS, and JS, so anything outside that could be a problem.
It sounds like the file size might be the issue here. You could try uploading a smaller file to see if that works. By the way, what’s taking up so much space in your project?
Yeah, 2GB is way too large for a simple project. Besides the tiles, what else do you have in the zip? Just curious if it’s mainly maps that are bloating the size.
Netlify has its limits, and 2GB is definitely beyond that! Usually, the drag and drop feature works best for smaller uploads—around 100MB is where it tends to get flaky. Are you including the 'node_modules' folder or a '.git' folder in your zip? It might be worth just uploading the output folder from your build process instead.
I think the heavy file is due to the many tiled map images I'm using. Each map contains hundreds of small pictures.
