Swift IOS upload large files when app is in background
Is there any way we can upload large files when app is in background using SwifyDropBox? If not then how can we achieve this using NSURLSESSION in swift and DropBox HTTP Requests?

SwiftyDropbox does not currently support background uploads, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
If you want to implement your own uploading code outside of SwiftyDropbox, you can do so using the HTTP endpoints. In particular, for uploading large (greater than 150 MB) files, you'll need to use the upload sessions functionality.
