This is working as expected, of course a user's setting doesn't apply to someone who's logged in.

With all do respect it is not possible to reduce the archive download size for public shared links AT ALL. Which means the outside users cannot download the content because of 2.125 GB Browser limits or other limits due to 32bit size buffer overflow.
In summary:

  • Admin > 2GB set OK
  • Regular user > 2GB set OK
  • Public shared links - 4GB hard set not configurable
