Allow frontend users to upload big images (and treat them as files)

Hi all,

I have got a problem that I cannot solve. Maybe anyone can help.

I have got userforms and created a form where the frontend users can upload files. This works fine for files, even with huge files (like 80M or more). But if the user uploads an image that is bigger than about 1.8M, then I get a server error in the backend. I then have to delete the image via ftp and synchronize, to be able to enter the folder in the cms. The website is on shared hosting and I guess that we don't have enough RAM to process big images properly.

Is there a way to treat images like normal files and simply store them without the RAM-critical thumbnail creation or whatever is happening to them after the upload?

Thanks a lot.
