AFAIK, irrespective of method, you need to configure it in global settings and at IIS level to allow a defined length.

Use the <location> tag in your config file:

XML

<location path="YourController/SaveFile">
    <system.web>
        <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="629145600" executionTimeout="2400" />
    </system.web>
    <system.webServer>
        <security>
            <requestFiltering>
                <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="644245094400"  />
            </requestFiltering>
       </security>  
   </system.webServer>
</location>

NB: maxRequestLength is in KB; maxAllowedContentLength is in bytes. You should normally specify both.

Use the location element in the Web.config file - Application configuration in ASP.NET - ASP.NET | Microsoft Docs[^]
