Sharepoint List .zip Attachment not showing

Question

Hi there, I'm very new to SP Lists as we just started using one at work. I'm trying to upload a .zip file that's about 80Mb as an attachement to a list item. I've tried several times with changes to other attachements (removing them so there is only one other) and changes to the .zip file name in case there are issues I'm not aware of. No luck.

I've searched around and can't see this specific question answered in the forum, but I've seen answers about a mobile view limitation of <3 items showing. I've also seen it specifically answered that .zip are allowed and that the max file size should be 250Mb. I'm at a loss.

Hi @Cooke, Adam ,

This issue cannot be reproduced from my end. To narrow down the issue, I’d like to confirm with you the following questions:

1. Is there any error message or prompts when uploading attachments? A screenshot would be preferred if there is. If not, where the attachment isn’t showing? Kindly share more details or screenshots on this issue.
2. Could you see the attachment in the Attachments column when editing the list item?
3. Try to create a new list then upload this attachment, will the problem still exist?
4. Did you customized the new item form to restrict the file type can be uploaded using PowerApps or anything else?
