trying to upload many pictures from ios device to dropbox folder using swift

so i have a list in swift of a bunch of URL from pictures saved in a folder with in the ios device. what happens is that i want to upload all those pictures to a folder and when i do it i get some pictures and not all. im using a loop to do go through every URL and uploading them one by one with in the loop.

sometimes i get an http error. i think this is happening because too many files are being uploaded at the same time. but i dont know how to solve this problem. any suggestions please. i would really appreciated.

As recommended on your StackOverflow post, it may help to limit how many requests you make at the same time.

In any case though, you can check the error you're getting for more information, e.g., using something like:

        case .HTTPError(let code, let message, let requestId):
            print("HTTPError[\(requestId)]: \(code): \(message)")

is there a way of limiting how many request i do at the same time within the dropbox api?

That's something you could manage in your app's logic, by controlling when you make API calls, e.g., when you call the upload method.
