In our application we are looking forward to have a functionality to save the files in documents directory so that user can access it even when the device is offline. Each file can be of maximum size 50mb.
So I wanted to know that what is the size limit of documents directory for an iPad Application ?
There is no hard limit here [1]. In terms of soft limits:
If you create too many files in the Documents directory (and we’re talking tens, if not hundreds, of thousands) working with that directory will slow down.
If you use too much space, you’ll eventually run the user out of disk space.
Share and Enjoy

[1] Well, technically, there are 64-bit limits on both file count and file size, but you’ll hit the soft limits way before you hit the 64-bit limit.
