`Currently, I'm using "send_from_directory" to serve the tar.gz file. It's working good for 200-300 Mb file but if file size more than 300 Mb or 400 Mb it's giving and issue.

`@app.route('/download', methods=['GET','POST'])
def download():
    json_data = request.get_json()
    print(json_data)
    data = mongo.db.data
    if 'file_name' in json_data:
        try:
               file_name = json_data['file_name']
               pathdir = json_data['pathdir']
               zipfile = pathdir+'/'+str(file_name)+'.tar.gz'
               if os.path.exists(zipfile):
                  os.remove(zipfile)
               tar = tarfile.TarFile.gzopen(zipfile, mode="w")
               tar.add(pathdir, arcname=os.path.basename(pathdir))
               tar.close()
               return send_from_directory(pathdir, str(file_name)+'.tar.gz', as_attachment=True)
        except Exception as e:
            logger.exception("Exception occurred in code.")
            return jsonify(error='file_name not found'+str(e))
    else:
        return jsonify(message='please provide file_name name.')`
