Bulk Upload

Learn how to bulk upload folders and files in Storage using the Upload button, and how to track upload progress until the upload is complete.

Written by Adam

Before You Start

Use this guide to upload a folder or a large group of files into Storage.

Required permissions:

  • Access to the Storage section

  • Permission to upload files or folders

  • Access to the destination location where you want to upload the content

Before you begin:

  • Make sure your files or folders are ready on your device

  • Decide where in Storage you want to upload the content

  • If needed, open the correct folder in Storage before uploading

Open Storage

From the left navigation menu, click Storage.

This opens your organisation’s storage area, where you can view folders and files.

Go to the Correct Upload Location

Navigate to the folder where you want to upload your content.

If you upload from the top level of Storage, your files or folders will be added there instead.

Make sure you are in the correct location before starting the upload.

Start the Upload

Click Upload in the top-right corner of the Storage page.

Select the folder or files you want to upload from your device.

Once selected, the system will begin preparing the upload.

You may see a progress panel, such as Preparing folder upload, which shows:

  • The number of files

  • The number of folders

  • The current preparation stage, such as Creating folders

Wait for the Upload to Finish

Allow the upload to continue until the system completes all items.

During the upload, the panel will keep updating the progress.

When finished, you will see an Upload complete panel showing:

  • The completed count

  • A list of uploaded files

  • Upload statuses for each file

Some items may show a status such as Already uploaded if matching files already exist.

Confirm the Uploaded Folder or Files

Check the Storage table to confirm that the uploaded folder or files now appear in the list.

Review the row details if needed, including:

  • Name

  • Access

  • Type

  • Size

  • Modified

If the uploaded content appears in the table, the bulk upload has completed successfully.

Important Notes

  • You can upload to the main Storage area or inside an existing folder.

  • If you bulk upload a folder, the system prepares the folder structure before uploading files.

  • If a file already exists, the upload panel may show Already uploaded for that item.

  • Large uploads may take longer depending on file size, folder size, and internet connection.

  • If you upload content into a location without restricted permissions, review the access settings afterwards.

  • If you need uploaded files to be limited to certain users or roles, upload them into the correct folder or update permissions after upload.

Troubleshooting

If the upload does not start:

  • Make sure you clicked Upload

  • Try selecting the files or folder again

  • Refresh the page and try again

If the upload stalls on preparation:

  • Wait a little longer for large folders

  • Check your internet connection

  • Try uploading again in a smaller batch if needed

If files show Already uploaded:

  • Review whether the files already exist in Storage

  • Confirm whether you need to keep the existing files or upload renamed versions instead

If the uploaded folder does not appear:

  • Refresh the Storage page

  • Check that you uploaded to the correct folder location

  • Use the Search storage... field to look for the folder or file name

If you still have trouble:

  • Contact your support team

  • Include the folder name, number of files, and what happened during the upload
