UploadDirectoryAsync - delete local file after upload

Feature request to delete file after upload

[normj]

I'm leery of the SDK being in charge of deleting local files when it seems like a simple thing for the client application to take care of when it knows for sure when to delete the files. Can you give a better reason why you would want that logic in UploadDirectoryAsync?

[hashitha]

The only reason I asked for this is because I can't seem to find a way to detect which files were uploaded and which ones failed. for e.g. when the internet drops after a few files have uploaded.

At the moment, there is no simple way to detect when the SDK has uploaded a particular item in a directory, but we are thinking of adding a progress callback that would be called when a file has been successfully uploaded to S3. That should allow you to delete the files.

Thanks that would be great if you can please add this to uploadFileRequest as well. I tried deleting the file at the progress by checking if sent bytes == total bytes but it looks like the file is still open at this stage so i get error file open by other application.

Glad to hear that this approach will work for your case.
For uploading an individual file, you should be able to delete the file once the upload method returns.
