SwiftyDropbox - Keep track of send/received data

Henk Martijn L.

Hello!

First of all, great job! I just played with the SwiftyDropbox on API v2 for a few days and I must say it's really easy to get it all working.

I have one question though.

What would be the best way to send multiple files and keep track of that progress? Since at the moment I'm calling client.filesUpload(path: "\(path)/\(file)", body: data).response { response, error in ... in a for in loop. In some way it caches all the files (since the for in is done in a second) and sends them after each other to dropbox. This way it's really hard to track the progress, since it will give a success after every file. Of course I can put a counter to it and add it every success, but that just looks messy

Also, can we expect a function to send multiple files as well in the future?

Thanks for the great API!

Thanks! How about trying an upload session where you can upload each file in chunks?

The SDK contain methods for filesUploadSessionStart, filesUploadSessionAppend, and filesUploadSessionFinish: https://github.com/dropbox/SwiftyDropbox/blob/master/Source/Files.swift#L1964

You'll still need to track which file you're uploading using the sessionId returned from filesUploadSessionStart but you'll have some idea of how much of each file has been uploaded.
