Uploading large files to Azure - Split file ?

We are having issues uploading a large file to Azure using HTTPAPIR4 (I am going to test with geturi as well to see if any difference)

A suggestion from Azure was to split the large file into multiple smaller files using tar or similar - the sample command they provided was

tar -cvf - backup.file | split -b 1G - backup.part.tar.

And also do a MD5 hash on the file to ensure integrity after the upload.

I am sure there is an equivalent command to join the files back up but that is not the reason for this email.

Just curious if anyone has used this approach and how you achieved it and how successful it has been ?

Thank you to any suggestions.

Cheers
