When uploading large files (like a single 33gb file) via webdav, doesn’t matter if webgui or alternative clients, it stops at the end and never completes the upload, but when I reload the page the file is there. Also even if in the local network, the speed is around 100 or 200mbps, when I have 1gbps local network (and internet, for what matters).  
How can I speed up the performance of webdav?  
I’m running nextcloud on a docker container in unraid, with mariadb and let’s encrypt for remote access, and when transferring files directly from my desktop to unraid I get the whole gigabit speed.

I’ll be glad to do that, but where is this php setting contained?

depends on your distro, in php.ini or something like that `grep -r upload /etc/php*` might shed some light

What do you get on SFTP? You won’t achieve this number but it’s a good reference point and if you get just 50% of the performance or perhaps 80%.
