It would be really nice if Retool can natively support uploading large files. Right now you must use a custom component and the File Input type to accomplish this. See Uploading large files to S3 - #2 by Kabirdas and [how-to] Upload large files to S3 for some context on the problems.

Natively allow uploading of larger files
