Comment:

 Hi @Paulds11, welcome to Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

 Both `post_max_size` and `upload_max_filesize` values affect uploads, as
 well as `memory_limit`. To upload large files, `post_max_size` must be
 larger than `upload_max_filesize`, and `memory_limit` should be larger
 than `post_max_size`. This is how PHP uploads work in general, not just in
 WordPress.
