Is it possible to upload more than one document a time? (API)
I have the following function that upload files to Dropbox:
private async Task<string> Upload(DropboxClient dbx, string localPath, string remotePath)
{
const int ChunkSize = 4096 * 1024;
using (var fileStream = File.Open(localPath, FileMode.Open))
{
if (fileStream.Length <= ChunkSize)
{
await dbx.Files.UploadAsync(remotePath, body: fileStream);
//set the expiry date
var settings = new SharedLinkSettings(expires: DateTime.Today.AddDays(7));
SharedLinkMetadata sharedLinkMetadata = await dbx.Sharing.CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsAsync(remotePath, settings);
return sharedLinkMetadata.Url;
}
else
{
await this.ChunkUpload(dbx, remotePath, fileStream, ChunkSize);
}
return "error";
}
}That works fine, but I need to upload many documents in one time and it takes long to loop through the documents and to upload them one by one, is there any option to upload a few documents at the same time?
Thanks in advance.
- Unfortunately, no, the Dropbox API doesn't offer a bulk upload method, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.
