Error: POST files/upload: Error (413) on sync

I have Joplin on three windows machines, each running window 10, and on one android. All work well accept on one laptop. When syncing, I get the error message:

Created remote items: 1.
Completed: 09/25/2020 10:16 PM
Last error: Error: POST files/upload: Error (413):

and some html code. This machine does not sync. What is this error and how do I fix it?

Thanks,

This is happening with my Mac recently. I had added videos to some notes, by dragging them to the note from my Mac thinking I was doing "a link". Realized the mistake, I revamped the note to point to the video using file:/// and then removed the videos from the note. Error still persists.

I'm getting this error now on Mac as well. Any tips to resolve?

In my case (selfhosted joplin on remote ubuntu 22.04), it was due to a config issue of the reverse proxy (nginx)

To fix it, I had to add the following line to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, inside "http" section

#100M , or other sensible size you want to try ...
client_max_body_size 100M;

After this, the sync completed successfully
