Would it be possible to allow the user to specify the CURL timeout? I could see this as a field alongside "Ignore errors" and "Automatic retry" in the Comparison tab for a sync. I've noticed that with large files in something like Google Drive, it's easy to hit that 10 second limit, even though there's not actually an issue accessing the file--it just seems to take a bit longer for server to queue it up.
Curl request - CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT: Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transferred the last 10 seconds [curl_easy_perform]
-> Automatic retry
Thanks!

good idea, especially for working with large files.

Already possible, see "Access timeout" setting: https://freefilesync.org/manual.php?topic=ftp-setup

Thanks, this worked perfectly! (I had been looking in sync settings; it had been so long since I'd set up the online storage settings I didn't even think to look there. Yeah, I know, RTFM...)
