Auto-restart failed upload from InstantUpload

[JanZorz]

Sometimes it happens, that instant uploads are not uploaded due to connection resets or some other errors like connecting to a wifi hot-spot that needs authentication in html client after you connect and so on.

I would like to see the client to automatically retry failed uploads for InstantUpload periodically until all images are synced...

I have a lot of images on my phone which were not uploaded to owncloud but should have been...

I totally agree, that this feature should be implemented as soon as possible, upload often fails for me due to the same reasons.

Thank you and keep up the good work!

Thanks!

We are working on this right now. Stay tuned for next updates.

Please, @JanZorz , @cowclaw, let me close this one and redirect the talk to #64, that is older and describes the same problem, even with some more specific problems.

Thanks.

Nope, they are not the same issue.
#64 is about InstantUpload trying to upload images even when only connected to a non-internet wireless.
This issue here is about interrupted and therefore unsuccessful uploads.

[davivel]

Ok, let's keep both open. #64 is about a more specific situation.

Anyway, automatic retry should be working right now; not free of failures, but partially working at least.

Agree.
Is there any progress on this issue?

Any progress on this? Not being able to rely on ownCloud uploading when asked (especially for InstantUpload) essentially makes attempting more than a handful of uploads at a time with the client useless, as when something fails, the failure notification is easily lost, and you then can't rely on files existing where you asked.

This should be done with the newest upload sidebar: on every connection chane it tries to upload the failed items agian.

Thanks a lot, @tobiasKaminsky . Definitely, this should work better now.
