New File Uploader in FileDrop: A Streamlined Way to Upload and Organize Files

If you are using FileDrop this is for you. The new file uploader, which is still in beta testing, offers a more efficient way to upload and arrange your files within the app. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the key features and benefits of the new uploader.

Easy File Selection and Drag-and-Drop Ordering

You can easily select files from your computer and then drag and drop them into your desired order before uploading, and even preview the files you added for images and PDFs. This new fix addresses a common frustration shared by many of our users, who previously had no control over the order in which their files were inserted.

Streamlined Upload Process

The upload process with the new uploader is remarkably straightforward. Once you’ve arranged your files, simply click the “Upload” button, and your files will start uploading immediately. A progress bar keeps you informed about the upload status, and you’ll receive a notification once the upload is complete.

Compatibility with Existing Settings

The new uploader seamlessly integrates with your existing FileDrop settings. Whether you prefer to add links or images, or if you have specific file size limits based on your account type, the new uploader adheres to your preferences. This ensures a consistent experience across the app’s features.

Improved Performance for Bulk Uploads

While the new uploader offers a streamlined interface, it’s important to note that for larger or more frequent bulk uploads, the existing bulk insertion features (such as the Drive tab) may still provide faster upload speeds. The new uploader is an excellent choice for smaller, more occasional uploads where ordering and control are paramount.
