Were you able to get around this? I’m still having this issue.

Perhaps it is either the file that has issues or your network. I tried to import a 1.5 gb Figma mock-up file, and it imported just fine.

How did you open the.fig file, I’m on mac and tried to drag and double click it and still doesn’t open

It is strange, I only use drag and drop to import to Figma and it works normal. You may report this a bug…

Just come across this problem . File is 305mb and seems to be stuck importing on Mac and Web. Anyone come across a solution?

Still have the same issue since last year, smaller files open with no issues but when I try opening a large file exceeding 300MB it just keeps on loading and won’t load

Eventually on desktop it uploaded my 305mb file. But, it literally took an hour, maybe more. Certainly far longer than you would expect a file that size to take. Something amiss.

I was getting the same issue when using desktop app. I tried logging into browser and importing and now it worked for me. My files size was 292 MB.

I’m currently trying to import a 841mb .fig file. It’s been “Importing to Drafts…” for 3.5 hours now. I don’t want to interrupt it since the reply above said his 300mb took over an hour. Is this normal? It’s a very large file but sheesh. I imported it by just opening the .fig file in Finder on my Mac. I’m currently using the Mac desktop app.

I fixed it by doing doing “Create new…” > Import. Still took a little time but not hours.
