Increasing the chunk size also carries some negative performance consequences:
  • Any writes to the drive, no matter how small, will always trigger an upload of at least one chunk. If that chunk is big (200MB), then you will be uploading a lot.
  • Partial chunk writes will need to download the full chunk, modify it, and re-upload the whole thing. Again, when using large chunks, that's a lot of bandwidth wasted for small modifications.

* [Issue #28492] Increased Box's maximum chunk size to 200MB.

See: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044194473-Tuning-the-Box-Upload-Accelerators-to-Improve-Upload-Speed

"These steps will put your Box account into "weighted random choice" mode, and should direct large uploads (>100MB) to the fastest measured route 100% of the time. Note: Smaller files (<100MB) will choose a route based on "weighted random choice". This is to ensure we are always measuring performance of different routes and adjusting to accordingly. This optimized route may change if you travel to different locations."
