I am developing an application with a client (java/swing) and a server (spring boot) component. The main thing I’m debating right now is how the best way to approach uploading large amounts of data from the client to the server would be.

The data consists of both very large amounts of files of plain text, meant to be processed and then discarded, as well as documents and picture data which of course would be larger and will be stored on a volume to be referenced by the processed text data. Both the plain text data and the files can reach up to several hundred MB, although that would be a “worst case scenario” kind of situation.

Is there a “proper” way of doing this?
