Description
Feature request
iOS app sends many files simultaneously. With self-hosted servers, this causes timeouts and the files are not sent. The app tries again and again, displaying many error messages.
I enable the automatic upload of pictures on my phone and it didn't succeed. Some files were sent but after I only got error messages HTTP 504.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add a parameter to specify the number of parallel connections.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Reduce automatically the number of connections in case of timeout.

Research direction
Start by tracing the iOS app's automatic photo upload flow and the code that creates parallel file-upload connections. Check how HTTP 504 failures are handled and where upload concurrency could be configured. Done means the app can limit parallel connections so batches of files can complete against self-hosted servers without repeated timeout errors.
