Resolution

  • Login into provisioning for the customer instance.
  • Search for Document Attachment > Attachment User Limit and set the value as more than the initial value and save.
  • Total number of attachment attached by a user cannot exceed this limit So it needs to be set after discussion with the company how much space they want to allocate to individual user.'No Limit' option is not advisable, as this leads to a chance of some user consuming lot of space.
