How to resume upload when using the browser?

Peace to all!

 

I was uploading an enormous folder and after a couple of days I accidentally closed the browser. Could anyone possibly help me to find a way to exclude the already uploaded files (thousands) from the remaining files (thousands) that still need to be uploaded all from that same folder (so as to upload only the ones that haven't been uploaded yet)? Thanks!

    Hey Cloudie, let's jump right into this! 

     

    I'm afraid there's no way for you to do that when using the website. Unless you manually check for the content. 

     

    You'd need to use our app locally on your device, since the OS would be able to detect any duplicates, and let you know. 

     

    I hope this clarifies!
