Upload Large Files To SharinPix

Overview

In this article, we will demonstrate how to use a multipart image upload on a SharinPix Album or SharinPix Single Image. To do so, we will:

• Create a SharinPix Permission to set Multipart Upload

• Assign the Permission to a SharinPix Component

SharinPix uses a feature called Multipart Upload for large file transfers: breaking a large file into smaller parts, uploading them in parallel for speed, and reassembling them in Amazon S3.

The key benefits include:

• Improved Throughput/Speed when uploading large files

• Enhanced Reliability and Fault Tolerance

• Efficient Memory Usage

Note:

• If you do not frequently upload files larger than 100 MB, do not activate this, as it will affect performance

• Before using this feature, ensure you have the latest SharinPix package installed. How to upgrade SharinPix package

Creation of SharinPix Permission

• In SharinPix Permissions, create a new record or edit an existing permission.

• Open the Upload section and check Multipart Upload.

Assign the SharinPix Permission to the Album component

• On a SharinPix Album, add the ID or Name of the SharinPix Permission record, which includes the maximum file size.

• In this example, the custom permission was named Upload Multipart. It has been set in the Custom Permissions ID or Name parameter of a SharinPix Album component.

Tip: The above will also work for a SharinPix Single Image. The custom permission created should then be defined as a Single Image Permission.
