Try using MediaFire to upload large files

The best thing is always to optimize the zip size. Sadly most people dont know how to do it but I just posted how : https://www.planetminecraft.com/forums/help/javaedition/my-map-size-is-too-big-679956//comment/3902447/#reply_3902447

if ur on a recent version you can do this:

Method 1 : Minecraft
1 Select your world and then click "edit"
2 Click on "optimize world"

Method 2 : WinRAR
You can also do this when you compress something with WinRAR (like your world folder) :
in Winrar, open your "saves" directory and click on your world folder then do this

Choose "best" and the zip size will be very small but be carefull, setting this on "best" will take some time!

Isn't WinRAR free though? Also (Just realized that this was said later) you can use mediafire for larger files.

Just download WinRAR or 7zip. Both can compress to a small size. Try to remove useless chunks with MCEdit if it's extremely high.

Also wich software are u using to make the zip file?
