Finally I resolved the "incorrect_offset" issue by catching this exception and uploading the next slice. But the thing is after successful upload the file is corrupt. i.e. I am uploading zip file. that is corrupt and can not unzip by windows. What I am doing wrong and why it is happening ? can you please suggest what should be done ?

It sounds like there may be a bug in your uploading logic. It's hard to say what it may be offhand, so I recommend adding some logging to your upload code to see where the issue may be and determine where the incorrect data is being sent up, or if you're sending the data out of order or something.

 

Have you tried uploading via the sample I linked to though? Does that work correctly for you?

    I'm facing the same issue here. How can I get the  correct offset by using UploadSessionOffsetError.CorrectOffset ? Can you pls show me some sample code?

    How can I pass the correct offset as the right cursor to the following method?

     

    await client.Files.UploadSessionAppendV2Async(cursor, body: memStream);
