Question:
My goal for file chunked uploading is the following:
- sequential chunked uploading
- progress update whenever a chunk is uploaded
- retry when a chunk failed to upload
- chunk size is 1MB
- My enviroment is preferrably on Javascript, but can be on ASP.Net too.
I am using the AWS S3, and had configured CloudFront.
I am currently unsure which to use: the Multipart Upload API or the Chunked Upload. So what is the difference between them, and when to use them?
Answer:
Here are some of the differences Ive seen so far:
Multipart Upload:
- Supports upload in parallel
- Only allows each part size to be a minimum of 5MB,
Chunked Upload:
- Authorize with Authorization Header.
- More tolerate with a minimum of only 8KB.
