I upgraded to Proton Unlimited today and I’ve set Proton Drive to back up my whole camera gallery, a few hundreds of GBs, so it will take a while. But I noticed that it skips large videos, e.g. it skipped a 9.8GB video file. Is this intended behavior? I can’t find documentation of it anywhere and it seems to happen silently. I easily could have missed it, assumed that it backed up everything down to a certain date, and deleted the only copy of the videos.
Thanks. Maybe it does, but as you say that still doesn’t explain it and it should still have ample space. Most of the files are photos or very short videos, and it’s definitely uploading them in order. It wouldn’t parallelize more than, say, 5 at a time. As my OP says it completely skips the biggest videos, so it has a cutoff of (I’m estimating) 5GB or so? So at worst it’s going to deal with two 5GB videos and 3 relatively tiny photos/videos simultaneously. 55GB is plenty for this scenario.
Also, this doesn’t mean much but it doesn’t feel like it’s parallelized. I think it’s just doing them sequentially. Just my hunch though, nothing conclusive.

Maybe it does some parallelization?
But yeah, that should be enough storage
