# Start a dataset file upload

> Send `filename`, `declaredSizeBytes`, and an optional format and field mapping. Files may be up to 1 GiB. Returns an upload and `uploadUrl`. PUT the file bytes to that URL with the required `x-ms-blob-type: BlockBlob` header. After the PUT succeeds, finalize the upload. The file must not exceed its declared size.
