ijunaid8989 All of the upload sessions that you wish to finish using /finish_batch need to be "closed" before you call /finish_batch. That message is indicating that the upload session was not closed.

You should close the upload session with the last call you make to upload the final data for that upload session, whether that's on /start or /append, using the "close" parameter.

Thanks for all your replies and I have fixed this issue, my only question is right now, what could be the reason for timeouts from dropbox api? 

 

I have timeout errors a few, while upload session start.

    Can you share the code and error output you're getting for these timeouts so we can take a look? Thanks!
