uploading large number of files to a group.io files area


 

I have a large number of files to be available to my group members.? ?I wonder if there is a bulk method to upload these without having to do this one file at a time
Thanks all.??

You don't have to upload them one at a time.?In the Upload File dialog, click the Browse button. Select as many files as you want from the resulting File Explorer "Open" window. In Windows, you can do this by clicking and dragging with the mouse, or hold down the CTRL key while clicking on several files.

Ctrl-A will also work to select all the files, but you have to click somewhere in the "Open" box first. I have no idea why.

When you're done making your selections, click the Open button at the bottom. The files selected should now appear as thumbnails in the Upload dialog. Enter a description if you want and click the blue Add button to actually upload them.

Having said that, there is no provision to upload an entire folder. You have to manually create the directory structure within groups.io first, at which point you can then upload a collection of files into each folder.

I hope that made sense.

There is now a wiki page on this:??/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Bulk-File-Upload

Please review and edit as needed.

This doesn't address the original poster's question (which I have).?

I want to upload an entire Directory Structure. Not just the files in bulk.

How would that be done?

Eric -- The original post in this thread said nothing about needing to maintain directory structure.

Go to the Files area and click the Upload Directory button.

The process is quite finicky and takes a long time. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/34328513#18953?for details.
