Does drive chunk size matter with server side copies?

Help and Support

Yet another quick question. :slight_smile:
When using rclone copy or sync between two google drive remotes and server side across configs flag set to true, does drive chunk size value matter/have an effect?

I'm asking because my understanding is each chunk request is an api call, and normally when not using server side you need # of transfers * chunk size available in local RAM, so 128M to 256M plus transfers 4 to 8 seems like a good balance to maximize throughput and api calls.

Since, I assume server side doesn't use local RAM, the chunk size can be set very high, e.g. 4G, to minimize api calls since RAM shouldn't be an issue, but this assumes that value has some bearing on server side copies, which I'm not sure is the case.

Thanks in advance,
Ed

No, chunk size does not matter as it all happens on the server side.
