## What it is
An Android library that handles file uploads (Multipart, Binary, FTP) in a background service with progress notifications. It supports persistent upload requests, customizations, and custom plugins, decoupling upload logic from the UI.

## Use cases
- upload files in the background on Android
- show upload progress notifications
- upload multipart form data from an Android app
- resume or persist upload requests across app restarts
- upload files over FTP from Android
- decouple upload logic from activities and fragments

## When to choose
- you need reliable background file uploads on Android with progress UI
- you want built-in Multipart, Binary, and FTP support
- you need uploads to continue while the app is backgrounded or the device is idle

## When to avoid
- you need uploads to survive the app process being killed
- you are not building an Android app
- you need a cross-platform upload solution

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: file-upload, http-client
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, web-development
- platform: -
- tags: background-uploads, multipart, ftp, progress-notification, kotlin, persistent-requests, android
