Add retry with exponential backoff for upload/download#220
Merged
Conversation
Implement retry logic with exponential backoff for transient errors (server 500s, rate limits, network errors, unexpected EOF, and too_many_write_operations). Downloads write to an atomic temp file to prevent corruption on retry or crash. Chunked uploads handle already-accepted chunks idempotently. Symlinks are preserved on download. Closes dropbox#211, closes dropbox#185, closes dropbox#75, closes dropbox#149.
