Is there any limit theoretically on the size of file that can be uploaded by a client using the browser's file upload using HTML form?
I am posing this because Flash has a drawback where the largest file size you can upload is lesser than the size of available RAM. I am wondering if there is any such restrictions with the browsers...

The maximum file size limit for uploads to Box varies depending on your account type: Free personal: 250 MB. Starter: 2 GB. Business: 5 GB.
We have three ways to shorten the time sending extensive data by HTTP: compress data. send chunked data. request data in a selected range.
Answer. The maximum size of the files for upload using the REST API is 100MB.
The default maximum file upload size in IIS6 is 4 MB and 28.6 MB for IIS7.
If your file upload is larger than 2Gb you will run into problems with HTTP uploads.
The "available RAM" limit suggests that the file data is being sucked all into memory, which is very inefficient especially when the file size grows. Streams are much more efficient for this.

Here is the result of a study regarding the upload depending on web browsers.
For the moment, only Google Chrome & Opera are able to perform an upload of more than 4GB.
