Dear Amazon S3 Customer,

We are excited to announce that Amazon S3 has increased the maximum size
of an object from 5 gigabytes to 5 terabytes. You can now easily store
and reference high resolution videos, large backup files, scientific
instrument data or other large datasets as single objects. To store
objects larger than 5 gigabytes, use the Multipart Upload feature, which
allows parallel uploads and streaming of large objects into Amazon S3 as
they are being created.
