Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Here is my code. If the file is small, the UploadAsync function is called and works flawlessly.
However, for larger file, the chunk upload fails. I get a JSON error the first time UploadSessionAppendAsync is called.
Any idea what could be wrong ?
private async Task Upload(string file, string targetPath)
{
const int chunkSize = 1024*1024;
CurrentFileStream = File.Open(file, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
if(CurrentFileStream.Length <= chunkSize)
{
System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("Start one-shot upload");
await Client.Files.UploadAsync(targetPath, body: CurrentFileStream);
}
else
{
System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("Start chunk upload");
await ChunkUpload(targetPath, chunkSize);
}
}
private async Task ChunkUpload(String path, int chunkSize)
{
int numChunks = (int)Math.Ceiling((double)CurrentFileStream.Length / chunkSize);
byte[] buffer = new byte[chunkSize];
string sessionId = null;
for(var idx = 0; idx < numChunks; idx++)
{
var byteRead = CurrentFileStream.Read(buffer, 0, chunkSize);
System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine(byteRead.ToString());
using(MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream(buffer, 0, byteRead))
{
if(idx == 0)
{
System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("Session start");
var result = await Client.Files.UploadSessionStartAsync(memStream);
sessionId = result.SessionId;
}
else
{
System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("Upload cusor");
UploadSessionCursor cursor = new UploadSessionCursor(sessionId, (ulong)(chunkSize * idx));
if(idx == numChunks - 1)
{
System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("Session finish");
await Client.Files.UploadSessionFinishAsync(cursor, new CommitInfo(path), memStream);
}
else
{
System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("Session append");
await Client.Files.UploadSessionAppendAsync(cursor, memStream);
}
}
}
}
}

This should be fixed now in version 2.0.3 of the SDK, just released. Please give that a try and let me know if you're still having trouble.
Upload works now, thanks for the quick fixes.
I have started to get upload error in my windows service which uses dropbox api. It was running fine from last one month and first time I have encountered the issue. I have limited error text captured via service which i am posting below.
Any hint why it is happening. File size is 6 MBand it is a pdf file.
