V2 Obj-C equivalent to [DBFilesystem sharedFilesystem].status.anyInProgress
Is there a V2 Obj-C equivalent to the Sync API [DBFilesystem sharedFilesystem].status.anyInProgress ?
That is, how can I test if there are uploads in progress after fileRoutes batchUploadFiles is called but before the responseBlock is run?

Hi Steve, no, unfortunately the SDK doesn't offer anything analogous to status.anyInProgress, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. You'll need to keep track of this state via your app's logic instead. (I.e., set some state when kicking off the operation, and unset it when the response block runs.)Thanks Greg.
The specific situation I'm trying to accommodate is where a user repeatedly changes a file (e.g. editing an online document or cropping a photo). Is it sufficient to just call fileRoutes batchUploadFiles repeatedly and the document at Dropbox reflects the last invocation? Or do I need to add logic to queue repeated updates to the same document?
- Greg-DBThe exact behavior in that case would depend on which of the calls succeed first, and what write mode you're using, so it would be safer to queue these up in order.
