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

    Thank you! I totally missed this when looking at the API. I expect this will solve my issue, thanks!
