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?

Hi Greg,
So my problem here is these are all for files < 150 MB which is well short of what I need. So I have to use an upload session which only supports provision of Data.
If the API for session allowed URLs to be provided I could chunk up my large file into tiny ones to present but it doesn’t offer that.
Thanks
