Resolved Restrictions

Area Description
Multiple File Upload The restriction for synchronizing only one file at a time when working with files has been removed. The adapter now supports multiple file uploads for all multi-part/mixed operations (including file uploads, edits, etc.) within the Documents and Mail modules. Users need to duplicate the Attachment object in the mapper to enable multiple file uploads.
Large File Upload The restriction for supporting only "Small File Upload" has been removed. The "Large File Upload" functionality has been implemented.
  • The adapter now automatically determines the appropriate upload method based on the file size:

    • For files less than 100 MB, the standard "Small File Upload" method is used.

    • For files between 100 MB and 1 GB, the "Large File Upload" method is used.

  • The adapter also automatically updates the headers and path for the "Large File Upload" method, implementing an automated chunking approach.
