Found some gifs uploaded in Connect, so I've tried to upload one, but experienced this error (the gif was under 3mb):
Any suggestion?

Ok, seems that only external gifs can be added to Connect

Hi @LucioV
it sounds strange to me, i will tag a Googler, @GeorgesHR for a check.
I have no issue in posting Gif, but I don't know if my badge give me extra permission, even if I don't think so

Thanks @ErmesT maybe is another superpower, after the no 1000 photos limit

Hey @LucioV,
You can certainly add a gif using the proper html tags.
It should also be possible for you to upload a gif directly using a local copy.

Hi @LucioV
I tried to upload a gif and it works for me. You just download gif to your computer, then click on photos when writing a post, upload, choose files, wait for an upload and then press done.
Here is my gif to show you that it is possible:

Tried again, but the error still stands. Maybe the maximum size is different for gifs?

I'm trying now with a gif I've linked from an external source.
I'm recording the screen.
Here is the result:
Please note that uploading a gif > 3Mb triggers the standard size error.
And that I'm able to add an image as well (so no 1000 photos limit error triggered)
I'm sorry @Vaigl i need to revoke the solution, as this is not working for me. 😉 Hope you understand.

I see @LucioV, and it sounds strange to me.
You have 999 photos loaded, so of course the GIF will not be blocked for photo limit. GIF are considered exactly like photos, and stored in your album in Connect
can you send me your file (you already have my email) for a loading test on this post?
