I try to upload a video (mp4) which is 3.9GB by using the google photoslibrary api. But it return 400 error. Is there any file size limit for video?

As mentioned in Google Developer Documentation

All media items uploaded to Google Photos using the API are stored in full resolution at original quality. They count toward the user’s storage.

Note: If your uploads exceed 25MB per user, your application should remind the user that these uploads will count towards storage in their Google Account.

So After 25 MB it will be stored in their Google Account.IF they have that much amount of free space than yes , they can upload . If they don't have that much space available then they have to update their storage plan.

And About Your Error Code.

Exceeding quota limits

If the quota of requests to the Library API is exceeded, the API returns an error code 429 and a message that the project has exceeded the quota

So it will be Error Code 429 not 400 (in your case). For detail Information you can find it here

  • For the storage quota, I am using a google education suite account which is unlimited storage. I can upload the 4GB file to google photo by the web interface, but I cannot upload by using the API. – Kenneth Li Aug 22 '18 at 07:18
