Asynchronous Upload

[shalmaxb]

Is it meanwhile possible to have uploads of large files (I provide large digital images in my installation) in form of asynchronous uploads?

Espo frontend is 100% asynchronous, What do you mean?

Hi,
when I upload an image of about 100 MB file size, there are various php configurations involved:

max_execution_time
max_input_time
max_post_size
upload_max_file_size

My provider sets these values by default quite low. Reason is, that possible unauthorized persons could block the server by uploading big files (that is his reason to make this configuration).

On demand he changes these values, so no problem beyond the security issues for the server.

He recommends to provide an Ajax asynchronous upload method, which makes it possible, that large files can be uplaoded in chunks over time and which would not cause problems by low php values.

I do not know enough about that to be able to judge it. But I already experienced, when the file size is bigger as configured in php.ini, the upload will not be executed,

Espo does not have uploading in chunks.

I hope in future will implement it.
