Issue UploadSession and UploadSessionBatch with big files
Hello, I'm working with the dropbox API in TypeScript. I do want to be able to able all kind of files (small, large, multiple files...) For that I have made a method to uplaod a single file, an...
When using filesUploadSessionFinishBatch, "UploadSessionStartArg.close or UploadSessionAppendArg.close needs to be true for the last upload_session/start or upload_session/append_v2 call". That is to say, since filesUploadSessionFinishBatch can't itself take any further file data, you need to make sure you've already finished sending all of the file data for each upload session, and have indicated that to the Dropbox API on the previous call for that upload session, by setting 'close' to 'true'.
The 'not_closed' error you're getting is indicating that you didn't close the upload session before calling filesUploadSessionFinishBatch. So, you'll need to update your code to set 'close:true' on UploadSessionAppendArg for the the last call to filesUploadSessionAppendV2 for each upload session that you're then sending to filesUploadSessionFinishBatch.

Greg, thank you for your reply !
So if I understand properly, correct me if I'm wrong, in case of uplaoding a big files within a batch session, I should not stop the AppendArgV2() at the chunkList-1 but until all the chunk are uploaded and then I build my finishArg. But in the other case I should stick with what I've done.
What if I always append all chunks and close on the last chunk ? Does it sound possible to you ?
I'm answering my own question, it seems to work when I always close the fileUploadSession with the appendArg on the last chunk event when I'm not using the batch.
Thank you for your help ! If you have any comments or suggestion on the code I sent you above please let me know I would be glad to have your feedback on it.
