In this article we explain how to use the Resumable Upload feature in MSP360 Explorer for Google Storage.
The Google Storage for Developers API provides a resumable data transfer feature that lets you resume upload operations after a communication failure has interrupted the flow of data. Resumable uploads are useful if you are transferring large files because the likelihood of a network interruption or some other transmission failure is high. Also, by using the resumable upload feature you can reduce your bandwidth usage (and therefore your bandwidth cost) because you do not have to restart large file uploads from the beginning.
You can turn Resumable Upload in Tools | Options | Multipart Upload menu. You can also define the size for the part which is 10 MB by default.
When downloading the large file, MSP360 Explorer will split it into the smaller parts behind the scene. You can Pause the upload process and Resume it later. In case of communication failure, you will only have to re-upload the missing parts, not the whole file.
Note: this post applies to MSP360 Explorer for Google Storage freeware 1.2 and later.
As always we would be happy to hear your feedback and you are welcome to post a comment.
