I’m trying to use Digital Ocean Spaces as file storage for my Flutter application. As API helper I’m using the package minio (https://pub.dev/packages/minio).
In general I can start upload and download operations. But I can’t find a way to get progress informations.
I tried to set a bucket event like this:
void bucketListener() {
// Listener
final poller = minio.listenBucketNotification(bucket, events: [
's3:PutObject:*',
]);
poller.stream.listen((event) {
print(event);
print('--- event: ${event['eventName']}');
// Get.find<EntriesController>(tag: "newEntry").videoUploadProgress[0];
});
}
But this listener not fires. Then here I found that Digital Ocean does not support Bucket Informations: https://developers.digitalocean.com/documentation/spaces/
Is there a way to get the upload progress when using the Digital Ocean storage? Thanks for your help!

Heya,
To implement upload progress tracking in your Flutter application when using DigitalOcean Spaces, you can consider the following client-side approaches:
-
Track Upload Progress on the Client Side: You can track the upload progress on the client side using Flutter itself. The
miniopackage you mentioned may not provide a built-in way to track progress, but you can implement it manually using Flutter’s own mechanisms. You would typically need to divide the file into chunks and update the progress as each chunk is uploaded. -
Custom Backend for Progress Tracking: Create a custom backend server that interacts with DigitalOcean Spaces and serves as an intermediary between your Flutter app and Spaces. The backend can track upload progress and provide progress updates to your Flutter app through an API. This way, you can have more control over progress tracking.
Hope that this helps!
