Re: Huge files over 500 MB? (General questions)

One idea to mention:

Ideally, I'd never need to recopy or resave the 1GB file after the upload, since it is so large. Instead, I plan on moving the file to the folder I want on the drive. (Moving files is very fast when it is to the same drive.)

One possible solution is, in the requestheaders, to specify a folder and save each attachment as a separate file. The file name can be the specified name or a UUID or something. That would make it easy for programmers to work with tho I don't know if that's the best solution for you.

That's great, I really appreciate it.

Good point about the multiple files problem.

Please let me know when the update is available via this thread (I'm subscribed).

Hi. Yes, this will be addressed, I'm just giving out my thoughts about it.

I cannot handle the way you suggested. We cannot assume only one file is uploaded so we can't just seek to the end of uploaded data. We must search *all* uploaded data.

It will take few days since even small tests take several minutes.
