As phliKtid mentioned, this is a limitation with the PHP framework. Save for editing the source code as mentioned in the bug report phliKtid linked, there is a workaround that involves setting the upload_max_filesize to 0 in the php.ini file.

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
; http://php.net/upload-max-filesize
upload_max_filesize = 0

By doing this, PHP will not crash when trying to convert "5G" into a 32-bit integer and you will be able to upload files as big as you allow with the "post_max_size" variable.
