Hi @saurabhmore thanks for opening the issue.

I uploaded Photos in offline mode

Could you clarify this statement - did you mean when the device if offline, you called Amplify.Storage.uploadFile API to upload a photo? And you were expecting this API call should set up a scheduled task that will be executed when device gets back online?

@HuiSF i have tried to add images in the offline mode :

  • Switch off internet
  • Select images to upload
  • Amplify.Storage.uploadFile(File)
  • Close the App
  • Open App
  • Switch on internet
  • nothing Happened

Note : if we haven't closed the App and kept Idle in background it works fine

Thank you for the clarification @saurabhmore .

The Amplify Storage S3 plugin currently doesn't support any offline functionality, upload operations requires an active network connection.

Can you confirm this is what you are looking for?

As a developer, I want to be able to call the Amplify.Storage.uploadFile API regardless of the network condition of the device. If the device was offline when I called the API to upload a file, I expect the upload to go through when the device gets back online.

We may consider this as a feature request.
