I need to permit users to upload large files to my web-server even if the browser is closed. How can I implement this functionality. I have gone through the feasibility of google drive app but it dose't provide the details of on-going uploads.

The easiest way is to look into webdav. This uses http PUT requests to upload files to a URL. With nearly all OSes, you can simply drag and drop the file into a file explorer window, or map the webdav URL to a local directory/drive letter.
curl
orwget
or use FTP... But once the browser is closed, nothing (related to it) is running on the client machine, which might be powered off.rsync
; in both cases only differences (or deltas) are sent.loseless compression
. Handle 40Gb file is... way too much.
