Upload large files in chunks
WorkDrive improves the process of uploading large files by breaking them into smaller segments or chunks and uploading them individually. This enhances the upload experience and reduces the challenges often associated with large file uploads. Now, you can upload without worrying about slow or unreliable internet connections, and easily resume uploads after an interruption.
Notes:
- Currently, uploading files in chunks support is available only on our WorkDrive web platform, WorkDrive mobile and WorkDrive TrueSync application.
- Uploading files in chunks is not supported on the Desktop Sync application.

Pause and resume
Uploading in chunks enables the resumption of interrupted uploads. For example, if an upload is paused or terminated due to network issues or user intervention, it can be resumed from the last successfully uploaded chunk. This ensures data integrity and eliminates the need to start the entire upload process from the beginning.
Notes:
- Currently, users have the option to manually pause and resume the upload only if the file size is greater than 1 GB.
- If a user pauses the upload or experiences a network issue causing the upload to pause, they must resume it within 7 days. Otherwise, they need to re-initiate the upload process.
Slow internet connectivity
Uploading files in chunks is particularly useful when your internet connection is slow or unreliable. If an upload fails, click on the Retry button in the File Upload pop-up window. Only the failed chunks will be re-uploaded here rather than the entire file. This saves time and benefits users with lower bandwidth.
