Feature request
As Nextcloud client for iOS already performs chunked uploads, does it make sense to send multiple chunks in parallel? This should help performance uploading to servers that have higher connection latency, while also allowing for smaller upload chunks to aid with recovery times when there is an error during the upload of a chunk.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing chunked-upload implementation in the Nextcloud iOS client and reading how it manages chunk ordering, failures, and server requests. Define how multiple chunks could be uploaded in parallel while preserving recovery behavior, then verify the result against uploads to higher-latency servers and smaller chunk sizes.
