Hello!

Thank you.
This is not trivially simple to implement but we've been using rclone utility to sync with Backblaze storage for some years now and rclone turned out to be very versatile swiss-army tool for such tasks.

Thank you very much!
Hey, you might wanna check out using a REST API with Google Drive or Dropbox. They both let you upload files in parts, and you can handle that in VB6 with some extra HTTP stuff.
Thank you. Can you share your approach to handling this via VB6 with REST API?
you could build the .NET api client as a COM dll for direct use with vb6

the last time I needed this I think I used a python library with a command line support and just shell'ed that from vb6 parent app.

or

cant remember if it had resume support. I havent seen a vb6 native implementation yetthere is a way to use python over com or run python directly within vb process
integrating with an existing lib in a different language is likely the best option. it will increase redistribution complexity though.
