S3TransferUtility. iPhone can has not enough size of memory to load full video data

[oleg-moseyko]

I want to upload a big video using S3TransferUtility. It provides uploadFileUsingMultipart and uploadDataUsingMultipart methods where I need to provide the file URL. Photos URL can be inaccessible and I need to extract data to a temporary directory.

1. It may need too much time before the actual upload starts.
2. iPhone can has not enough size of memory to load full data.

My questions are:

1. Is it possible to upload the big video(for example ~10, 100, ... GB) using multipart (S3TransferUtility) if iPhone has insufficient memory to load full data. Maybe some way with InputStream/OutputStream.
2. Best practice to upload a big video?

Current implementation of S3TransferUtility require extra storage to keep temporary files while uploading. It creates a copy of the file during upload so an equivalent amount memory might be required to upload.

I am marking this as a feature-request for us to go through and optimize.

Thanks for opening this feature request. We recommend using Amplify Storage for multipart upload. If you're still experiencing this with Amplify Storage, please open an issue in https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-swift. Thanks!
