How to upload when app enter background in ios
I tried the upload request with the simpler one and the batch upload, and I found that when app enter the background, the upload work will stop and loss some data. So how to upload files when the app enter the background?

Hello Hongliang,
This isn't really a Dropbox API specific question, it's more related to iOS task scheduling. I can't give you a direct answer here as that's outside of the scope of what we support in these forums, but I'd suggest you look into background task scheduling on iOS, for example:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsbackgroundactivityscheduler
And see if you can't find a way to solve your problem that way. Best of luck!
