FilesV2

Initiate a large (multipart) file upload

Initiate a multipart upload for files up to 10 GB. The response includes an opaque upload_id and a fully populated urls array containing one pre-signed PUT URL per part the client should upload. After uploading every part, call Complete large upload at POST /v2/files/{file_id}/large-upload/complete with the resulting part etag values.

The client may optionally specify the desired number of parts (1 to 10000). If omitted, the server picks a value based on the declared size and the recommended part size — for most uploads this is the right default.

Every URL in urls expires roughly 3 hours after issue. If a part PUT fails after that window, abandon the upload and initiate a fresh session.

Once finalized, inspect the file with GET /v1/files/{file_id} and download it with GET /v1/files/{file_id}/download — no v2 read surface exists yet.

Returns 201 with the upload session details. Orphaned uploads that are not completed are eventually cleaned up.
