parallel upload failing - "lookup_failed/incorrect_offset"
we need to upload large files (several GiB) to dropbox using the API. i've written a script that uses cURL to do this in parallel. i upload the first segment of 150M in order to obtain the session ID...

thanks Greg-DB, i missed that in the docs. this looks promising, i'll give it a try.
one question : since /upload_session/finish in a concurrent upload won't accept file data along with it, what should the offset be in the cursor data for this case ? the total number of bytes already sent with previous calls (i.e. the file size) ? 0 ? ...or maybe it's ignored ?

Yes, for the offset on the /finish call for a concurrent upload session you should supply the total number of bytes successfully sent for the session previously (i.e., the total length of the file).
