Quick follow up here, in the latest versions of SwiftyDropbox, upload/download request objects do now offer a `cancel` method you can call to cancel the request.

Hi, adding to an old thread, but is this implemented for Objective C Library?

 

When I try to use cancel(), the app crashes with:

 

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'You must override cancel in a subclass'

 

Thanks!

    Hi Jiho, yes, this is available in the Objective-C SDK, but that's a known issue in version 2.0.6 in particular. You can use 2.0.5 as a workaround for now.

      Okay, that worked for now.

        The override issue in 2.0.6 is fixed now in version 3.0.0.
