ok i am reading but my code is working fine for 250Mb but it fails at 1Gb because of my internet i think. Can you tell me that i have to use backend for upload_session? or it can be done without server?

🙂 The access point, you are using, guarantees work for size up to 150MB. By the way all single transactions are not guaranteed to support transfer of more than 150MB. Of course, this doesn't mean you can't transfer more! It's just not guaranteed. 😉

If I understand correct, you count backed and server usage as the same. I name it little different. You don't need separate server. "Backend" could be realized as a modification of you code. You have to perform sequentially session endpoints calls (create, append, and finish). "Append" steps could be called concurrently, but not before create and not after finish (that's an option - be careful).
Hope this sheds additional light.
