## Common questions

### Can I give guests a link to upload photos to PicoShare?

Yes, an admin can create guest upload links, and that was suggested for a self-hosted wedding photo gallery.

### Is PicoShare suitable for transferring 60-100GB files?

A community thread says PicoShare may not work well with large 60-100GB files.

### Why might uploads fail when PicoShare is behind a reverse proxy?

Uploads can hit proxy limits, so reverse proxy settings may need to be adjusted during upload troubleshooting.

### What self-hosting configuration items should I verify for PicoShare?

Verify correct ports, persistent storage, HTTPS, shared secrets, backups, and upgrade checks.
