The android app crashes when I try to upload a file bigger then 200mb, when the upload data exceeds 200mb the app crashes. It’s fine on the web, with a browser i can easily upload a 2GB file the problem appears only on the android app (android 10 OneUi 2.1)
The php.ini files upload limits are set to 10G Soo that shouldn’t be the problem, i can provide a video if it’s needed
Hello @Alles and welcome to the forum.
If your server is still in P8, as I am guessing, this is most probably caused by a known issue with the internal management of the events that are used to display a progress.
This is fixed in the next version that will be soon published.
A side question yet: this next version is a major rewrite of the app that is almost 10 y.o.: we had to get rid of a lot of legacy code and refactor many things to be ready for further improvements. So there might be some glitches. Would you be interested in testing a alpha release ?
Hello @bsinou,
thanks for you answer. I ran in the same problem like @Alles described.
Using the Android Pydio App
Version name: 2.3.3
Version code: 44
Version date: 2021.06.07
The server is a ARM64 Version:
Pydio Cells Home Edition 2.3.1-dev.202107300620
Released : 2021-07-30T06:29:15
Revision : 44df03fbdead2143aa5743e64a13110097d1ae75
Tried several versions with the same result.
BTW: Where can I get a ARM64 stable release?
Since I’m not on P8 the problem should’nt occurre?
Any idea how I could solve the problem?
Hello @coloeus and welcome in our community.
You have the same symptoms, but maybe not the same cause:
- it is either the same issue that comes from the progress bar and that should fixed in next version
- or this is a simple time-out during the upload, multipart is not yet implemented in the Android app.
So a few questions:
- Could you please precise the size of the file you are trying to upload?
- Do you see any logs on the server side when you try to upload?
- Would you be interested in downloading / installing a test APK to see if the new version of the Android app solves your issue?
We plan to add the ARM builds in the next major release of Cells (v3, that should go live in a month or 2: 2.3.x releases are in fact alpha versions for the v3) but we still want to make some testing before doing this.
Until then, you are stuck with the dev builds.
By the way, have you seen any ARM specific issues with your instance or is it running glitch-free ?
Just for the record, the Android link for the test App on the store is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pydio.android.Client
Yeah, i would like to try the new alpha application too see the improvements
The pre-release is in open testing mode on the store.
You might also directly download the APK from our download site;
Thanks a lot for you answer and the informations.
Could you please precise the size of the file you are trying to upload?
443 MB
Do you see any logs on the server side when you try to upload?
No, neither in Backend → Logs nor in the terminal window.
Would you be interested in downloading / installing a test APK to see if the new version of the Android app solves your issue?
Just joined the “Beta-Program” in Google Play Store and will test and report.

Yes

Haven’t tested it much yet because not being able to upload big files would be a showstopper for me.
OK, thanks. Let us know if you have any issues while installing the test version from the store.
Just for info, we really want to bring the app to the next level, so if you have a little bit of patience and help us with your feedback, I am pretty confident we will solve these big file issues and meet your requirement in a very near future.
I tried the Alpha app, I’m able to upload a file bigger then 200mb without crashes but the upload speed compared to the old version is much slower, (i guess it’s not uploading the files in multiple parts)
Suggestions:
It would be nice to have also a automatic photo
upload feature.
Having mp4 and mp3 files stream inside the app would be nice instead of downloading them fully.
While uploading from the app and viewing from the web or vice versa don’t show the file as a normal file while it’s still uploading, maybe hide it until upload is complete
What about making the app opensurce that would boost the amount of devs that would work on it
Hello,
We have published a release candidate for the 2.4.0 today.
You can find it both in the test part of the store and in our download server here:
https://download.pydio.com/pub/apps/android-client/releases/2.4.0-rc/cells-51.apk
Note that you have to reinstall the app if you already have an 2.4 alpha, migration is only implemented for older 2.3.3 and previous versions.
The media viewer should now handle mp4 video files but we still need further testing for the mp3. They will be probably supported in 2.4.1.
About your other suggestions:
- “share with Pydio” direct activity from other app is the next feature we will add now that the code has been refactored and cleaned
- multipart upload is then next (it is nice to see that our road map fits with what users expect)
- putting the app opensource is in the pipe but we still want to further clean the “legacy mess” (the app is more than 10 year old and has been the playground for more than one junior (in term of Android dev) developer. We might yet already include you. Would you be interested ? Are you an experienced Android developer ?
