Files >1.6 GB fail to upload

[agoode]

When I upload files >1.6GB, the upload runs for a long time, then fails with error *googleapi.Error googleapi: Error 401: Invalid Credentials, authError. The file exists in Drive as a 0-byte file.

This sounds like a server problem, but perhaps there is a workaround possible.

FWIW 401s generally correspond to the OAuth2 token expiring (as it does every hour, which is a bother), so that suggests that there is some code path that doesn't refresh the token and retry after a 401. I'm pretty sure all of the skicka code paths do handle this case, so I worry a little that there's something in the Drive API that doesn't handle this, and wherein if we refresh and retry, it will retry from scratch (and then timeout again).

Anyway, I'll see if I can reproduce (and then figure out where exactly it's failing...)

Ah. This probably means the token expires during the upload.

Hi. I have the same problem as described. The new version of skicka won't give an credential error msg. instead, it keeps uploading and going non-stop. Here's one example I'm trying to upload (7.92GB). It faced the same problem but keeps trying(?) to re-upload it (so it uploads more than 100% lol). Is there anyway to fix it? Thanks!

I think you're actually seeing issue #35, which was recently introduced. So it's presumably not actually done uploading when it hits 100%, but if you let it run until it exits on it own, it should get everything uploaded. (And we'll try to get #35 fixed soon...)

Resumable uploads for large files are tested and landed in e8f2736; if you can try it out and see if that fixes this for you, I'd be interested to hear.

Closing under the belief that this has been fixed with the resumable upload path.
