Amplify-js: How to cancel Storage file upload

[pippo111]

I cannot find it anywhere in Amplify Storage Documantation, but is there a way to cancel file upload (put) ? It will be useful to give user possibility to cancel upload of files.

I'm using Storage.put like so:

return Storage.vault.put(filename, buffer, {
    metadata,
    progressCallback (e) {
      // log progress
    }
  })

but all I get is Promise, which I cannot cancel simply by js.

@pippo111 - I do not believe this is supported at the moment; I will mark this as a feature request.

@haverchuck Any news on that ? It is getting really problematic, when internet connection breaks and user is unable to cancel his upload. Is there any way to do it maybe via some lower level API ? Any hints on that ?

@sammartinez I would open this one again, because API.cancel() as mentioned here has not solved this issue.

But feature is very needed! In my app (but I suspect in any app), user may start to upload a huge file by mistake and there is no workaround to cancel it
