Uploading Issue: Files > 100MB

[elee]

Hi,

I've been trying to upload files larger than 100MB to Google Docs via Cyberduck. It always gives me an IO error and aborts the upload at 100.4MB. Is this a Cyberduck issue or a Google Docs API limitation? I know I can upload files > 100MB through the web interface for Google Docs.

Thanks.

What file type and what are your settings in Preferences → Google Docs? In particular, try to turn off the OCR conversion setting. I will try to replicate the issue here.

I only have Convert to Google Docs selected. I'm not using the OCR conversion setting.

The file types are *.mp3 and *.jar. Both would abort at 100.4MB.

Thanks.

You can only ​upload arbitrary file types if you have a Google Apps Premier account. Unfortunately this is a limitation imposed by the Google Docs API.

Interestingly I do have a Google Apps Premier account (although now called Google Apps for Business) and I'm hitting the 100Mb limit. That said, I have also just started using their new paid storage for Google Apps as well..

Please post the error message. Also, could you open a support ticket at Google Customer Support regarding this issue?

The error is:

I opened a thread here:

​http://code.google.com/apis/documents/forum.html?place=topic%2Fgoogle-documents-list-api%2Fim1KKidkC9M%2Fdiscussion

which states:

For files larger than 100MB, you must use resumable upload.  My assumption is that Cyberduck isn't using resumable upload here.  You can contact them and ask them to switch it over.

Yet another ​variation of HTTP, unfortunately.
