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?

Mubasher Здравко is correct, the issue is that the /2/files/upload endpoint only supports files up to 150 MB. For larger files, you'll need to use upload sessions like Здравко linked to. The upload session endpoints can be called from either a "front-end" or "back-end". A server is not required to make the API calls.
