(.NET Core C#) OneDrive -- Upload Large Files with an Upload Session

See more OneDrive Examples

Demonstrates how to upload large files with an upload session. See OneDrive Upload Session for more general information.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.97 or greater.

// Step 1: Create an upload session

// To begin a large file upload, your app must first request a new upload session. This creates a 
// temporary storage location where the bytes of the file will be saved until the complete file is uploaded. 
// Once the last byte of the file has been uploaded the upload session is completed and the final file is shown 
// in the destination folder.

// Send the following POST to create an upload session:
// If not using "me", then the path should be /v1.0/users/{id | userPrincipalName}/...
// POST /v1.0/users/{user_id}/drive/root:/{path_to_item}:/createUploadSession

http.SetUrlVar("path_to_item","/somefolder/big.zip");
http.SetUrlVar("user_id","4fe732c3-322e-4a6b-b729-2fd1eb5c6104");
string url = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{$user_id}/drive/root:/{$path_to_item}:/createUploadSession";
Chilkat.HttpResponse resp = http.PostJson2(url,"application/json","{}");
if (http.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// If successful, a 200 status code is returned, with the session details (in JSON format).
Chilkat.JsonObject jsonSession = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
jsonSession.EmitCompact = false;
jsonSession.Load(resp.BodyStr);

if (resp.StatusCode != 200) {

    Debug.WriteLine(jsonSession.Emit());
    Debug.WriteLine("Response status = " + Convert.ToString(resp.StatusCode));

    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine(jsonSession.Emit());

// A sample response:

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Step 2: Upload Data in Segments (a.k.a. Fragments or Chunks)

// Microsoft states this requirement: Use a fragment size that is a multiple of 320 KiB (320 * 1024 bytes). 
// Failing to use a fragment size that is a multiple of 320 KiB can result in large file transfers failing after the 
// last fragment is uploaded.  (Note: This is a detail imposed by Microsoft's OneDrive server-side implementation.)

int fragSize = 320 * 1024;
string localFilePath = "qa_data/zips/big.zip";

// Upload the file big.zip in 320KiB segments.
// Note: The FileSize method returns a signed 32-bit integer.  If the file is potentially larger than 2GB, call FileSizeStr instead to return
// the size of the file as a string, then convert to an integer value.
Chilkat.FileAccess fac = new Chilkat.FileAccess();
int fileSize = fac.FileSize(localFilePath);

// Open the file to get the number of fragments.
success = fac.OpenForRead(localFilePath);

// IMPORTANT: The uploadUrl is a temporary URL to be used to upload the fragment.

// request to start the upload session).  Therefore, do not allow the upload URL to be publicly seen,
// otherwise anybody could upload to your OneDrive.

int bytesRemaining = fileSize;
while (i < numFragments) {

    }

    Debug.WriteLine("  this chunkSize = " + Convert.ToString(chunkSize));

    // Indicate the fragment in the local file to be streamed in the upload.

    sbOffset.AppendInt(i * fragSize);
    sbNumBytes.Clear();
    sbNumBytes.AppendInt(chunkSize);

    // The Content-Range header field must be set for this fragment.  For example:
    // Content-Range: bytes 0-25/128
    sbRange.SetString("bytes start-end/fileSize");
    int numReplaced = sbRange.ReplaceI("start",i * fragSize);
    numReplaced = sbRange.ReplaceI("end",i * fragSize + chunkSize - 1);
