This sentence was written at the time when backend used access token, nowadays, users need to generate and use application password instead, see #6398.
At some point the sharefile API changed to require the size of the
file in the initial transaction which makes the streaming upload fail
with this error:
upload failed: file size does not match (-2)
This was discovered by the integration tests.
when multi-thread downloading is enabled, rclone used
to send a write to disk after every read, resulting in a lot
of small writes to different locations of the file.
depending on the underlying filesystem or device, it can be more
efficient to send bigger writes.
Before this change the pikpak backend changed the global
--multi-thread-streams flag which wasn't desirable.
Now the machinery is in place to use the NoMultiThreading feature flag
instead.
Fixes#6915
When copying to a backend which has the PartialUploads feature flag
set and can Move files the file is copied into a temporary name first.
Once the copy is complete, the file is renamed to the real
destination.
This prevents other processes from seeing partially downloaded copies
of files being downloaded and prevents overwriting the old file until
the new one is complete.
This also adds --inplace flag that can be used to disable the partial
file copy/rename feature.

Before this patch, files or directories with unknown modtime would
appear as the current date.
When mounted some systems look at modification dates of directories to
see if they change and having them change whenever they drop out of
the directory cache is not optimal.
See #6986
