InstantUpload - continuous retry but file exists on server

[nlaplante]

I have a problem with one photo which always gets "Upload failed". It retries continuously. But, looking at the server, the file is there, and many other duplicates.

Let's call the file PANO_123.JPG. On the server, I have multiple copies of the file:

• PANO_123.JPG
• PANO_123(1).JPG
• PANO_123(2).JPG
• and so on...

So, the upload is indeed successful, but for some reason the client marks it as failed and it retries later.

I have to clean the InstantUpload folder on my owncloud to prevent taking too much disk space.

Sorry, you will have to remove the data of the app in the device, and then refresh again. Go to 'Device settings' / 'Applications' / 'ownCloud' / 'Clear data'. The accounts information and downladed files will not be removed, but the local cache with the tree(s) of files will, so you will need to refresh the app after that (just enter in the app again).

The autorecovery of uploads needs a very deep review.

Hi there, I think I'm experiencing the same failures, or similar.

[APP]
App version: 1.5.8
Brand: MyWigo
Android version: 4.2.2

[SERVER]
nginx 1.4.6
php 5.5.9
ownCloud 6.0.4

Seems that every new attempt to upload an image from app to the server, app launches a HEAD petition like this. If it got 200/OK, interprets that this file exists and try to create a new version of the same file. Problem in my server is that always got 200/ok, even if file does not exist in my server.

Here I paste an example:
"HEAD /remote.php/webdav/InstantUpload/IMG_20140821_182519.jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "-" "Android-ownCloud"
"HEAD /remote.php/webdav/InstantUpload/IMG_20140821_182519%20(2).jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "-" "Android-ownCloud"
"HEAD /remote.php/webdav/InstantUpload/IMG_20140821_182519%20(3).jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "-" "Android-ownCloud"
"HEAD /remote.php/webdav/InstantUpload/IMG_20140821_182519%20(4).jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "-" "Android-ownCloud"
"HEAD /remote.php/webdav/InstantUpload/IMG_20140821_182519%20(5).jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "-" "Android-ownCloud"

[...]

"HEAD /remote.php/webdav/InstantUpload/IMG_20140821_182519%20(39708).jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "-" "Android-ownCloud"

@nlaplante , would be great if you could check your server logs and see if there is something there similar to the logs from @modstone .

Thanks!

This issue should be solved with my contribution in branch https://github.com/owncloud/android/tree/reliable_uploads
