Sending files to the cloud in parallel

Features

I’ve been using Duplicatti for a few years now and I’m very satisfied with the system.

In all my backups, I always sent the files to Google Drive and Dropbox. I recently signed up for a pCloud plan, but I’m having some difficulties.
With both Dropbox and Google Drive, I had sending rates in the range of 30 to 70Mbps, but now with pCloud, I reach around 7Mpbs, using the canary version 2.1.0.115, already with integration via API.
According to pCloud support, one way to resolve the low upload rate is to upload files in parallel to the pCloud cloud, multiple files at the same time.
I searched the Duplicati Forum and didn’t find this feature. Can you tell me if there is a way for me to send the files in parallel?

My connection link is fiber, with 1/1Gbps, I’m in Brazil and the pCloud server is in the USA.

Thanks

Duplicati will already do this. Each of the files are put into a queue and then uploaded in parallel (assuming there are enough files to upload).

What speed do you see if you upload directly to pCloud (using their web interface)?
How do you determine the transfer speed of Duplicati?

I probably discovered the problem, which was in the transmission speed from Brazil to the pCloud server in Dallas, USA. The maximum speed measured was 120Mbps on speedtest.net. Using the pCloud interface, speed also doesn’t improve much beyond testing with Duplicati.
I will still do more tests to validate.

It’s good to know that Duplicati already sends files in parallel. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I’m giving you some final feedback on my tests with pCloud. After correcting the routing issues with my internet provider using the pCloud server in Dallas, USA, it worked very well. I was able to achieve upload and download speeds of 300Mbps to 600Mbps.

In addition, I didn’t have any backup errors after adjusting the internet routing. Both the backup and the restore went perfectly.

Thanks for your help and have a great weekend!
