Substantial

English to Arabic Other Internet, e-Commerce
Hello all,
Here's the source sentence (from a web page):
"File is empty. Please upload something more substantial."
I thought of: ذات فحوى أكثر ماديّة, but I am not really convinced this is good enough! Could you please suggest a better translation?
Many thanks in advance,
Fady.

substantial
adj. having substance; firm, solid; real; wealthy, influential, important; considerable, sizeable, ample

substantial = sizeable

Since you are speaking about a file upload so I think "sizable" is more appropriate.
