Those segments are regular files.

The big file support it's just uploading the big file split in parts
smaller than 5GB + a manifest file that points to the place of the parts.

The user can both access to the parts (that are regular files) and to
the manifest, that basically re-assembles the parts automatically on the
fly.

Kind regards,
