Which version of the PnP-PowerShell Cmdlets are you using?

PnP PowerShell for SharePoint Online

What is the version of the Cmdlet module you are running?

3.3.1811.0

How did you install the PnP-PowerShell Cmdlets?

Installed through the PowerShell Gallery with Install-Module

Suggestion for improvement

Download files with a direct to disk method to bypass 2GB object limitation.
That probably implies to verify checksum integrity of files.

Otherwise, when find-pnpfile getting the name of large files, they are truncated.
ie: fic1.tiff returns fic1.tif

I am experience this as well, with version 3.13.1909.0 of the SharePointPnPPowershellOnline module.
Any progress of this issue, or any workarounds?

Hello,

Still nothing for the moment.
The easy solution: Just download larger files by http method with IE (comobject). It’s a dirty but fulyfunctional solution.

Hi guys,
do you know if we can somehow bypass this limitation and download large files?
