B2 has a file limit of 5GB. No thanks.

What's with the downvotes?

Here: "A file contains a sequence of bytes. Any file on your computer can be uploaded to B2 and stored in a Cloud Storage, as long as it's not too big. Files can range in size from 0 bytes to 5 billion bytes. "

Thanks. I was using rclone last time to upload files and that's when I had hit the file limit. So I googled and found the link I provided in my comment. It appears that rclone does not support large file upload! hm...

EDIT: Actually it's in progress: https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/456

EDIT2: It is actually already implemented in v1.30!

I think for data integrity alone, you wouldn't want to upload files that large. Just create an archive that splits the file up.
