Multiple file upload to folder

[vaszkoattila]

When multiple files are selected, it should not return separate links for each, but upload them into a folder and return the folder link.

Hi there,

it's a design decision to have files uploaded individually. You can turn on "zip multiple files prior uploading" in the upload preferences if you prefer to have them uploaded as a zip archive instead.

Cheers,
Timo

Try with this link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Ax9bxaOLsSaH6vuQc9jMBx9CbtqmP7Td

It downloads a .zip file when clicking „Download all“ in the top right.

True, but actually, I don't want to download the folder; I just want the link to the folder to be shared so that the person can download it.
Example: I have 100 files that I want to share with them. Currently, the program generates 100 unique links one by one. What would work for me is if, instead of generating the links one by one, it would copy them into a folder and share the link to that folder. I would send this link to the client, they would click on it, and they could download any of the files.

Okay, that‘s a little different than your original feature request.

You basically want to have a landing page that includes a list of all files to download (similar to the Google Drive UI), or, when using a File Storage Provider like Google Drive, use their directory listing.

That‘s currently not possible as explained earlier, but a feature that makes sense. I‘ll look into it!

I apologize if I wasn't clear. Thank you for your help.

No worries! I‘ll update this thread with my findings once I looked into it.

Hi Timo, I've put together an app that uploads the file(s) to Google Drive. That way, you can see what I had in mind. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vu9ex-FqMCpWF5N7sRdkqe2CNL623B0J/view?usp=drivesdk Attila
