I’m uploading Videos via native File Uploader and I have a progress bar with % of upload already. I’m wondering how I can add a calculation of time remaining for the upload?
Also, perhaps how much data in MB’s is left to upload also.
Guessing I’ll have to calculate current users internet speed etc.
Hey @jordan18 
What you can do is run a workflow every second (while the file is uploading) to calculate the remaining time and size based on 3 things:
The remaining time formula will be:
[(ET) / (UP%)] - (ET)
The remaining size formula will be:
[ 1 - (UP%)] * (TS)
Imagine you are uploading a 10MB file…
Second 1:
Total Size: 10MB
Elapsed time (ET) = 1 second
Upload progress (UP%) = 5%
[(ET) / (UP%)] - (ET)
[1 / 0,05] - 1
19 seconds remaining
Explanation: If 5% = 1 second, 100% = 20 seconds. If already elapsed 1 second, the remaining time is 19 seconds.
[ 1 - (UP%)] * (TS)
[1 - 5%] * 10MB
9,5MB remaining
Explanation: If you already uploaded 5%, you have 95% to go. 95% of 10MB is 9,5MB
Second 2:
Elapsed time (ET) = 2 seconds
Upload progress (UP%) = 8%
[(ET) / (UP%)] - (ET)
[2 / 0,08] - 2
23 seconds
Explanation: If 8% = 2 second, 100% = 25 seconds. If already elapsed 2 seconds, the remaining time is 23 seconds. Note that, in this example, the speed is decreasing…
[ 1 - (UP%)] * (TS)
[1 - 8%] * 10MB
9,5MB remaining
Explanation: If you already uploaded 8%, you have 92% to go. 92% of 10MB is 9,2MB
Hope it helps!
Thanks so much for the detailed response, really appreciate it. I’m in an intermediate learning phase of Bubble. Would you mind dumbing it down for me and explaining how to put it into a workflow?
FileUploaderA is my input
