python - Django crash when upload a big file

Question

I'm trying to send a big file (more than 2.7 GB) with axios to Django:

const formData = new FormData()
formData.append('myFile', myFile)
const config = {...}
axios.post(url, formData, config)...

Now, it sends all the data, but the memory usage starts growing even before the view starts!

def my_view(request: HttpRequest) -> HttpResponse:
    print('Starts the view')
    ...

If the file is small the message prints correctly, now with the huge file the server crashes due to memory usage before the print is reached. I've tried to change the upload handler to only use disk in settings.py:

FILE_UPLOAD_HANDLERS = ['django.core.files.uploadhandler.TemporaryFileUploadHandler']

But had the same result. I don't know whats happening, I can't even try this solution as nothing of the view's code is executed. What I'm missing? Any kind of help would be really appreciated

Update:

I've made a question in Django official forum where more information is available about solution and problems about this
