Dropbox Community ModeratorI just took a look over your last reply and the supplied code, and I notice you mentioned you're trying to upload a 1.1 GB file, but you're using UploadBuilder. For large files, that is, anything bigger than 150 MB, you need to use "upload sessions", per the documentation for uploadBuilder. (You may even want to use upload sessions for files smaller than 150 MB, depending on the scenario.)
There's an example of using upload sessions here. For reference, using this method, there isn't an overall file size limit. You can upload files of any size, including larger than 5 GB. (Note that this only applies to the Dropbox side. Your local filesystem may have its own limit.)
Thank you for your help.
I've created a method that analyzes the file and decides which method to use.
I think that create a single method that implement this logic could be usefull also for other.
Do you see any limitation to this approach?
