We also are facing a painful experience.

if you need to test on the ipad immediatly, remember to use preview on

device. and create local folios.

I'm on a deadline too. Dreadful online app policy from Adobe.

Sorry James to let you know that at this exact moment (in Italy it's 8:34 p.m.) the uploading of my folio made of 36 stacks is freezed on the 26 and it doea not go on....

... update: now (9:01 pm) the folio has gone ;-) but it is very slow anyway!

definitely feels better to me in the UK

cheers

It is so slow. Trying to publish now, and it has failed a few times. Any known server trouble?

I was quite excited to find this thread as it's related exactly to the issue I've been battling with the past couple of days. I'm disappointed however, to see that these posts are dated back in June so it's unlikely the answer to my problem is here. I've spent literally all day trying to upload folios to the server and then download them to my iPad. The upload is taking an absolute age and for most of the morning they were getting to 80% and then just hanging, ultimately returning a 'failed to upload' error message.

As these folios had successfully uploaded before without much problem I assumed it was something to do with changes I'd made to the content. I then tried uploading folios that I knew had no changes but these suffered the same fate. Downloading to my iPad is also painfully slow. I've even rebuilt folios from scratch and tried uploading one page at a time, in an attempt to identify where a potential conflict may be.

No joy. Each upload is taking anything between 20mins to half an hour (for as little as a 15MB folio) and I just don't have the time nor the will to continue this process.

I'm frustrated and mildly annoyed now as there is little to no chance of me meeting my deadlines, and I'm spending most of my precious time in these god-forsaken forums trying to find an Adobe emplyee who might solve my problem for me. I kind of expected this level of pain during the Pre-release program but not 2 years down the line.

I have been in this situation several times in the past, but eventually I have always been able to reach an happy-end even with a more than 500Mb file!

What I did was just to open a case in the support and later on (within 24 hrs) I tried again to upload and it was ok... but honestly speaking every time I started an upload I also started praying...

Actually I do not need anymore to distribute my folios (I just create single-app) so now for me it is great to avoid the upload process with the Folio Panel: in fact when I want to check my job I build a local folio and than I transfer it directly from Indesign onto my Ipad, and at last I use the "create app" function to work directly with the DPS App Builder and this is a fantastic workflow :-)
