object that you can use to check the status of the upload.  
```py
>>> from huggingface_hub import HfApi
>>> api = HfApi()
>>> future = api.upload_folder( # Upload in the background (non-blocking action)
...     repo_id="username/my-model",
...     folder_path="checkpoints-001",
...     run_as_future=True,
... )
>>> future
Future(...)
>>> future.done()
False
>>> future.result() # Wait for the upload to complete (blocking action)
...
```
