MapMyCells has been updated with new features and improvements!

**File size limit increase**  
Users may now upload files as large as 2GB (previously 500MB.) For logged-in users, the file storage limit has been increased from 5GB to 40GB.

**Email notifications**  
Public users can now opt in to receive email notifications when their mapping is complete.

Checking the box will initiate a pop-up to enter an email address where the notification will be sent. If the mapping is successful, the notification email will contain a link to download the completed mapping results file. If the mapping is unsuccessful, the email will contain a link to access log files for troubleshooting. These links will remain active for 24 hours.

**Note:** We will never share your email with third-parties.

In addition, for logged-in users, the results email now includes more detailed information about your mappings.

Thanks for the update!

However, when trying to upload a file of about 2GB (2 minutes ago), the interface returns a file size limit error. Can this be resolved?
