Snapdrop progress stuck for files over 100MB
rilysh opened this issue · comments
When transferring between computer and phone, Snapdrop happily uploads to 50 to 70 MB, and then suddenly transfer progress gets stopped. I tried a couple of times but got the same results. I also tried file under 70MB and it worked perfectly fine. And it seems only for large files this issue persists.
Seems duplicate of #231.
@rilysh, this is a common problem of Snapdrop.
Since file data downloading is cached locally and then saved on your device storage after data transfer is completed, browsers will block a cache storage if it's too large.
The maximum size you can possibly transfer is about 1GB, but it could vary depending on your device: for example, probably because you're using a phone, your cache size is even smaller and you stuck at 70MB.
Currently there is no solution for this issue as Snapdrop is a web-app and browsers does not allow a greater cache storage.
I see, that make sense now, thank you @Bellisario for your explanation!
