uploading video through api not working
I'm using the IOs sdk and trying to upload a small video. It keeps giving me the following error
[WARNING] DropboxSDK: error making request to /1/files_put/sandbox/YourFolder/BNaUmF.m4v - (-1005) ...

I'm wondering if the Error could be misleading ... I'm only making the call once, again for images it seems to work fine with no errors consistently, but with the video it fails ... I'm calling the function as soon as the video is done encoding .... my thought is that perhaps even though the completion event is fired, something in the file system is not done yet .... as a result It cant read the file. This is totally conjecture, but when I call the upload function after 50 ms, it works, so it leads me to believe maybe something like that is going on, and that the -1005 error is just red harring
