Description
The Issue
Currently, if you upload a file over 23 gb, the sd blob will be larger than 2MB and won't be downloadable. We should prevent this from happening in the meantime and then figure out how to plan around this in the future (1 larger sd, multiple sds, etc)

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the SDK's file-upload path and how the sd blob size is calculated or limited; confirm where uploads over 23 GB are accepted. Done means oversized uploads are prevented and the behavior is covered by passing tests.
