To my knowledge there is no such flag.

What would be its purpose? Can you explain what is the reasoning behind it?

I want to maximize my uploading bandwidth

You can achieve it easily by wrapping your rclone sync in a shell script with very simple logic:

  1. Does source folder has >= than 4 files?
  2. if yes run rclone sync
  3. if not wait e.g. 1s
  4. go to 1

You can implement it using whatever is the most convenient on your OS

the folders always have more than 4 files however some of them are always being moved, in accordance with this one How to move only files that are not already being moved by another rclone process? I have 2 separated lines of internet and want to move files from the same folder into 2 different clouds

Then apply in this script the same logic you use in your other post. It means that not any 4 files but only 4 files which are no already moved.

IMO you are trying something overcomplicated without any clear benefit but if it is your goal then you have to be creative:)
