Option to periodically stop and continue uploads in order to avoid failing uploads
When uploading to the Proton drive using the Web interface, due to network issues, sometimes uploads of large files (e.g. 2GB) are aborted and then fail. In case of Proton drive I then have to upload such files from their beginning. That's quite frustrating, especially if the upload fails after 90% or so of the file. Workaround: I periodically halt the upload for a few seconds and then continue the upload in order to avoid trouble by possible timeouts somewhere. Would it be possible to automatize that, e.g. periodically halt and continue the upload after blocks of e.g. 64 MB? (Of course it would be better to have a resync feature in order to recover from failed uploads.)

Since some time uploads went smoothly. Therefore that feature probably isn't necessary anymore.
(And thank you, J-McD, for your answer. I learned something new again.)

What you are talking about is what is known as a "checkpoint restart".
Some backup software has this. They take "checkpoints" at intervals. If there are any problems in the transfer they restart from a known point of goodness (the checkpoint).
