[C#] Large files don't show up in user's cloud after finishing batch upload
Hey there!
I'm trying to upload large files with batch upload (as it is suggested by Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/data-ingress-guide).
Everything seems to be working exce...
I see that you are checking the 'IsComplete' status of the UploadSessionFinishBatchAsync job using UploadSessionFinishBatchCheckAsync, but that will only tell you if the operation is complete overall. It does not indicate whether any particular commit succeeded or not. You should additionally check each UploadSessionFinishBatchResultEntry (in UploadSessionFinishBatchResult.Entries) to see if each one was a Success or a Failure. Additionally, if it failed, you can see why from the UploadSessionFinishError available in UploadSessionFinishBatchResultEntry.Failure.Value.
By the way, I redacted it from your post, but for the sake of security, you should disable that access token, since you posted it here. You can do so by revoking access to the app entirely, if the access token is for your account, here:
https://www.dropbox.com/account/connected_apps
Or, you can disable just this access token using the API:
HTTP: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#auth-token-revoke
API Explorer: https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#auth_token/revoke
Thank you Greg!
Turned out that it failed with incorrect offset.
The logic how I calculated the last offset (which was passed to the finishing method) was wrong. But after I repaired it, now everything works just fine.
Also, thanks for erasing the access token, I did forgot about it, but it was just the generated access token that I use during development, so not a big deal (I changed it though).
And lastly, I don't know if you could communicate this towards the people at Dropbox who are responsibe for the .NET SDK documentation, but if you could tell them that they should somehow mention at the UploadSessionFinishBatchResult section how to reach it, I'd be grateful. It took me almost an hour to find out how to reach this class, and I only found out because a discussion (about the Dropbox API Java SDK, not even .NET) here in the forum mentioned that one can reach it through the UploadSessionFinishBatchJobStatus object.
Thanks again, for your help!
