Partial content update

Hello everybody, The one request that I'm missing is a partial content update/append. I'm using the service as a backup and reupload whole files upon any change is a waste of resouces. Something like a content-range in put calls whould be enough. regards!

Hi Jimyx17, Thanks for the feedback. Can you please elaborate what sort of files are you talking about? Are you trying to re-upload edited documents OR photos/videos? Regards, Tejwant Singh

There are several kinds of files: 1) Backup file containers. It is image or hard drive and if you modified only several files, you need to upload zillions of data while real delta is only a few megabytes. 2) JFFS file containers. 3) Broken upload resume. When client upload via reliable connections he usually get socket force close with "Connection reset by peer" error. Re-uploading whole file while half if it has been already uploaded is disastrous. The best solution would be upload VCDIFF/RFC 3284( https://github.com/jmacd/xdelta) deltas for file modification.
