Uploading large files to google drive or Dropbox

[Rajdeep Rath]

Hello,

I just came across this example : 

https://github.com/tornadoweb/tornado/blob/master/demos/file_upload/file_uploader.py

I was wondering if I can use this to upload files to google drive etc ? Also is there a limit to how big files can be uploaded ? Will an upload ops affect rest of the application’s asynchronous performance?

Regards

Not on its own - to use the APIs for one of these services you'll need to deal with their authentication protocols, etc. The `body_producer` pattern should still be applicable, though.

 

Also is there a limit to how big files can be uploaded ?

Not on the sender's side, although the receiver will presumably have some limits in place.

 

Will an upload ops affect rest of the application’s asynchronous performance?

Depends on other factors including your network. You may want to add an `await gen.sleep(...)` call to the body_producer loop to limit how fast the data will be uploaded to ensure that it won't saturate the entire network link (or, in some cases with a very fast network, so it won't monopolize your CPU)
