Set Outlook PST/OST File Size

Modified on Tue, 12 Aug at 2:07 PM

By default, Outlook 2016/365 are limited to 50GB PST/OST files. To set the limit to 100GB, do either of these:


Run from a run box or a command prompt:

reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\PST" /v MaxLargeFileSize /t REG_DWORD /d 102400 /f


Open the registry editor. Go to this key (make it if it does not exist):

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\PST

Make a new DWORD (32-bit) value, call it MaxLargeFileSize. Change it's value to decimal then type in 102400 and press OK.
