Hi Rephoto,

Are you sure about what size of data you are trying to upload in total? That error means that you have reached buffer size 350GB or so! As seems you are going to get above the absolute file size limit. Do you by any chance have some infinite loop, you got in, that broke by the error /exception only? 🧐

    Ok... Let I ask in another way.. How many times you have this file uploaded in this same upload session?

    Post the code you're using.

        Rephoto While the API supports uploading up to 350 GB for a file, it sounds like there's an issue in that code causing it to try to upload too much data for the 2.6 GB file. I suggest printing out the offset from the cursor before each append call to begin to debug this.
