Check if there is a pending upload from another party

Dear community and support team,

We have an app that is periodically checking files in a shared folder through API and moving them elsewhere. Other party is usually uploading files in batches and it has become necessary for us to wait for the whole batch to be uploaded before moving it. Is there a way for the app to know if the other party has some pending upload?

Thanks, Marek

    No, there isn't a way to check for uploads that are pending or in progress from other locations, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.
