While Cloudflare's primary function isn't file transfer acceleration, its CDN capabilities can improve the perceived speed of large file transfers, particularly for users geographically distant from the server. However, for truly high-speed transfers, dedicated solutions like rsync over a fast network connection are generally more effective.
