Trying to get dotnet batch upload working (to solve "too many operations" issue)
Hi, I'm saving a lot of log files from parallel process and running into "too many operations" exceptions occasionally (I already rate-limited them to 1 per second start rate to deal with a ra...

Dropbox Community ModeratorThe UploadSessionFinishBatchCheckAsync method returns UploadSessionFinishBatchJobStatus, and once UploadSessionFinishBatchJobStatus.IsComplete is true, you can use UploadSessionFinishBatchJobStatus.Complete to access UploadSessionFinishBatchJobStatus.Complete.Value which is UploadSessionFinishBatchResult, to access UploadSessionFinishBatchResult.Entries which is a list of UploadSessionFinishBatchResultEntry.
Hey Greg,
I've ALMOST got this one licked. I got down to "too many write operations", and I single-streamed UploadAsync and my batch writes through a lock file, and was working, working, working, then bam, all of a sudden got another couple of "too many write operations", and I'm like "Huh? How can that be when I'm single-streaming my writes?", so I'm guessing something else is counting as a write.
So, could you let me know what operations count as writes? I've got UploadAsync and batch uploads already, and obviously ReadFileAsync isn't a write, but what about, for example, CreateFolderAsync? Or SaveUrlAsync? I need to know what all such "write" methods would be so that I can pipe all of them through my write lock.
thanks,
Donald.

Yes, any change at all will count as a write, such as adding, editing, moving, copying, sharing, or deleting files or folders, by any means (such as the Dropbox API, web site, client, etc.). That will include both CreateFolderAsync and SaveUrlAsync, but not Download.
