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