I’m working with a client that needs to upload large files to dropbox automatically. I’m able to download the file, but anything after that seems to cause an error. The error I get is “File size greater than 2GiB”. Is there any way around this?

Hi
N8N_DEFAULT_BINARY_DATA_MODE=filesystem
based on this topic:
Hi, i open this case because in my last workflow created, trying to read a binary file greater than 2GB in size to then upload it to a google drive share, i get the error “File size greater than 2GB”, I read that it is because of a limitation in Node.JS buffer, but is there any upgrade on this?
In another post i saw the env configuration:
N8N_DEFAULT_BINARY_DATA_MODE=filesystem
Could it help in this case? I need to upload files larger than 2GB to Google Drive.
I’m using n8n cloud for this client project and therefore, I can’t access ENV variables
