Resume a failed upload

Network drop, browser refresh, or app close — you can pick up where you left off.

Browser refresh, network drop, app crash — none of these have to mean re-uploading from scratch. equiReelz uploads in chunks and remembers what already arrived.

How resume works

Every upload is split into chunks (multipart upload). Once a chunk reaches our storage, it stays there even if the next chunk fails. When you re-open the upload page or the iOS app, equiReelz looks for half-finished uploads and offers to continue them.

On the web

  1. 1

    Open the upload page

    If you have unfinished uploads, a yellow banner shows them. Each row keeps the metadata you'd already filled in.

  2. 2

    Pick the same file again

    Drag the same source file back in (or pick it from the file dialog). The system matches it by content and resumes from the right chunk.

  3. 3

    Hit Resume

    Only the missing chunks upload. Total time is roughly proportional to how much was left.

On iOS

Resumes are automatic. The app remembers the upload across app restarts and even reboots, and tries again as soon as you have connectivity. You don't have to do anything.

Pending uploads cluttering your list?

On the upload page, the X button on a pending row cancels it cleanly and frees any storage chunks already uploaded.

Pending uploads count toward your storage

Half-finished uploads still take up storage until you either complete them or cancel them. If you're running low, a quick way to free space is to clear out pending uploads you no longer want.
