The Multi-Upload tab enables you to upload multiple files and multiple folders with the greatest of ease.  The default method when you switch to the MultiUpload tab is our "Upload Drop Pad.  This is a Java control that is compatible with all operating systems (Win/Mac/Unix) and allows simple drag-and-drop Login and click the "Multi-Upload" tab in to reveal the "Upload Drop Pad". Simply drag and drop anything you want onto this box, and it will start uploading immediately to your account. This tool is fast, reliable, "firewall-friendly", and works in all web browsers, using Windows, Mac or Linux. Another method available for drag-and-drop Uploads and Downloads is the WebFolder feature. Refer to the WebFolder User Guide in Help Contents. uploads, supporting a massive number of files.

How to Use

  1. Select a folder on your FilesAnywhere drive where you want your uploads to go, then click the Multi-Upload tab or toolbar button.
     

  2. The first time you open this tab, the integrated Advanced Upload component will be installed.  Loading this component initially may take several minutes, depending on your Internet connection speed - please allow this to complete while the "Please Wait" message is visible.
     

  3. Use the "Add" button to build a list of files and folders to upload.  You also have the option of opening a separate File Explorer window to drag-and-drop files and folders into the FilesAnywhere upload file list. In Windows, you can hold down the "window" key on your keyboard (between Ctrl and Alt) then press the "E" key, to open a separate file explorer window.
     

  4. By default, the folder structure from your local PC for the files you are uploading will be copied to your FilesAnywhere drive along with the files you upload. You may uncheck this "Copy Destination Folders" checkbox if you wish to specify a FilesAnywhere destination folder manually.
     

  5. Important Note: the Zip!Upload feature will not retain the subfolder structure when compressing, so you should manually Zip folders using WinZip if you need to retain the subfolder structure - or you may use the Upload feature to upload the complete structure without compression.
     

  6. Click the Upload or Zip!Upload button to begin the transfer. The "Upload" button will upload the files separately, however they will be transferred in a single upload batch. Zip!Upload will automatically compress and upload all of the selected files into one zip file. This creates a .zip file in the top folder that you specified on your computer. You should delete this file later if you do not wish to keep it, since the Zip!Upload process does not delete this file automatically.  
     

  7. A progress meter will show how much time is remaining throughout the upload.
     

  8. You will see a message when the upload is complete and the FilesAnywhere QuickTree (remote folder structure) will refresh to show the uploaded files.
