For a large file to be uploaded with an SHA1 checksum, the source
needs to support SHA1 checksums. The local disk supports SHA1
checksums so large file transfers from local disk will have an SHA1.
See [the overview](/overview/#features) for exactly which remotes
support SHA1.
Sources which don't support SHA1, in particular `crypt` will upload
large files without SHA1 checksums. This may be fixed in the future
(see [#1767](https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/1767)).
Files sizes below `--b2-upload-cutoff` will always have an SHA1

### B2 with crypt ###
When using B2 with `crypt` files are encrypted into a temporary
location and streamed from there. This is required to calculate the
encrypted file's checksum before beginning the upload. On Windows the
%TMPDIR% environment variable is used as the temporary location. If
the file requires chunking, both the chunking and encryption will take
place in memory.
