8 years agoIf something's not working as expected, I'll be happy to help, but I'll need some more information. Please reply with the following for the current issue:
- the version number of the SDK/library you are using
- the steps to reproduce the current issue, including relevant code snippet(s)
- the full text of the unexpected output
- a screenshot showing where you're checking that the file is not actually 0 bytes

I don't see anything obviously wrong in this code. It seems to be mostly copied/modified from the sample.
Can you share the other things I requested though? I.e., the output you're getting, and how you're checking the original file? I recall from your previous thread that you had an issue in your code that result in 0 byte files being uploaded to you account. It sounds like you perhaps didn't fix all of them.
