Feature request: Add wrapper allowing for uploads of all sizes #214
Description
Hi,
I was wondering if DropBox would consider adding a class or function that would wrap files_upload_session_start(), files_upload_session_append_v2() and files_upload_session_finish().
The command would basically be a wrapper around the solution provided by @greg-db here.
Using the commands individually is not too much of a problem but that would speed up development significantly, as the above statements could basically be condensed down to:
with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
dbx.files_managed_upload(f, target)One example would be AWS' Boto3 which has the method upload_fileobj() that can automatically perform multipart uploads if the object size is bigger than the API allows.
Thanks!

Thanks for writing this up! I can't make any promises as to if/when this would be implemented, but I'll send this along to the team.

Closing as completed by #581.
The new dropbox.file_transfer helpers provide a high-level upload API that manages upload sessions automatically, including large files, retries, progress reporting, validation, and optional parallel uploads.
See Uploader, FileUpload / ReaderUpload, and UploadOptions introduced in #581.
