 .. tip:: In more recent versions of Nextcloud Server, when uploading to S3 in *Primary Storage* mode, we use S3 `MultipartUpload`. This allows chunked upload streaming of the chunks directly to S3 so that the final MOVE request no longer needs to assemble the final file on the Nextcloud server. This requires your ``memcache.distributed`` to be set to use Redis (or Memcached), otherwise we fall back on the prior behavior which consumes space on the Nextcloud Server for file assembly (as described above).
 
 Federated Cloud Sharing
 -----------------------
 
 If you are using `Federated Cloud Sharing <https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/31/admin_manual/configuration_files/federated_cloud_sharing_configuration.html>`_ and want to share large files, you can increase the timeout values for requests to the federated servers.
 Therefore, you can set ``davstorage.request_timeout`` in your ``config.php``. The default value is 30 seconds.
