Are Google Drive Uploads Verified with Checksums?

[Orsova]

Hello all,

I'm planning to transfer about 24tb from local media to a Google Workspace drive. If I use Cyberduck to do this, will CD verify each file upload by comparing local and drive checksums on the fly?

I know that Cyberduck can retrieve Google Drive checksums, but not whether or not it uses them actively.

Thank you.

ETA: In addition, we will be moving some files directly from Dropbox to Drive using the CD direct cloud transfer functionality. Will a direct Dropbox to Google Drive transfer utilise checksums?

No checksums are currently compared for uploads to Google Drive.

Hi David,

Thank you for your reply.

Out of curiosity, may I ask why not, given that CD can retrieve the server side checksums?

I have opened #17352 to track this.
