Creating large file and uploading to Google Drive

Anvil Q&A
1

I’m downloading a file (video) to disk, then uploading it (using app files) to Google Drive as a media object. The issue I’m having is that the files don’t seem to be uploading completely. The file is always about 300MB in size. The following code happens in a background task:

      folder = app_files.my_folder
      media_object = anvil.media.from_file(f'filename.ts', "video/x-mpeg")
      f = folder.create_file(f"filename.ts")
      f.set_media(media_object)

Could the issue be the file size? Is there a better option for doing this?

Edit…this doesn’t work either.:

import boto3
client = session.client('s3') #assume key stuff is here
transfer = S3Transfer(client)
transfer.upload_file('filename.ts', 'video_archive', 'filename.ts')

I would prefer to use Google Drive since it makes it easier for me to browse the files.

EDIT: Well it turns out it doesn’t seem to be the file loading that is the issue. Files loaded to object storage have the same issue.

Turns out it is the video download code.
