Description

First off, thank you for this amazing product! Other than the issue described below, I'm very pleased with the quality of motion and motioneye.

I've noticed that particularly large videos rarely get uploaded to Google drive. Looks like anything over 100mb. I have pretty limited upload speed, and I assume that plays into this problem. I'm wondering if there is a timeout setting that could be adjusted? Or maybe a file size upload limit in motion?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find where Google Drive uploads are handled in the codebase, check for any timeout or max file size configurations, and verify if large files are being chunked or if there's a limit.
