What is the problem you are having with rclone?
When I try to upload a 21.5GB .zip file, it eventually fails with an error 400 and tries to reupload. Other smaller files, such as a ~980MB .zip I uploaded, worked fine.
Maybe this could be related to the iCloud website not allowing uploads above 10GB?
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
