You can use a timer and check the size of the downloaded file. The file is downloaded with this command (HttpUtilsService: line 70)

B4X:

Response.GetAsynchronously("response", File.OpenOutput(TempFolder, TaskId, False), True, TaskId)

Thats a good idea.
What about uploads?
Maybe I can POL the upload site to check the size on the server?

How large are the uploaded files? Maybe you should use FTP instead? It includes a progress event.

This is a Dropbox client so it cannot use FTP.
Also, I may have no idea about the file sizes but they could be big.
I think they expect us to monitor how much data has been uploaded at the client side.

If all you need is to monitor the upload then checking the uploaded file size should be enough.

Okay, I will try this.
The only thing I am concerned about however is that maybe the file cannot be accessed until it is completely uploaded.
