    gagsbh You should set close=true on the last call to on upload session where you need to upload data for that upload session. That might actually be on a UploadSessionStartAsync call (for small files), or a UploadSessionAppendV2Async call, or a UploadSessionFinishAsync call, if not using UploadSessionFinishBatchAsync. If you are using UploadSessionFinishBatchAsync, then you do need to set close=true on the last UploadSessionStartAsync or UploadSessionAppendV2Async for that upload session.

     

    Every upload session is used to upload one file, and has one upload session ID. So, the cursor for any given upload session should have the upload session ID for that upload session, and an offset that indicates how much has been uploaded so far for that upload session.

     

    And yes, UploadSessionFinishBatchAsync takes an IEnumerable<UploadSessionFinishArg>, which should contain one UploadSessionFinishArg per upload session (each of which needs to be closed) that you wish to finish.
