I've been creating Drive files for a while now with Published Pages and Apps Script, but now has arrived a demand to create them from an external link, and I've created a Snippet to get base64 data from a POST and create a Drive file for it, it works great for <8kb data, anything greater than that throws me an GETerror which my limited knowledge can't debug.

The only limitation that's near this is the 8kb for headers size, but this ain't it, or I'm sending this as a header?

Here's the setup:

Published Code.gs:

function doPost( e ) {
  var returnMsg;

  try{
    var splitBase = (e.parameter.base64).split(','),
        type = splitBase[0].split(';')[0].replace('data:',''),
        nomeArq = (new Date()).getTime();

    var byteCharacters = Utilities.base64Decode(splitBase[1]);
    var ss = Utilities.newBlob(byteCharacters, type);
    ss.setName(nomeArq);

    var file = DriveApp.createFile(ss);

    returnMsg = file.getId();
  }catch(e){
    returnMsg = 'Erro: ' + e.toString();
  }

  return ContentService.createTextOutput( returnMsg );
}

Ajax call on an external website that works (<8kb data):

function sendPostData() {
    params = 'base64=data:image/png;base64,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';

    After doing some tests, I uploaded data payloads using POST methods of up to 24MB without issues. Reached a "Max file size" limit with sizes beyond 24mb, but seems related to Drive rather than GAS. A year after your question, I was also looking for related information: Max size for POST request sent to webapps. Commented Jul 15, 2016 at 18:43
