Uploading Files in the Android App
File uploads can be initiated using the floating + Create or upload button in the Android app:
- Tap the + Create or upload button.
- Choose to upload from:
- Files
- Existing Photos & Videos
- New Photos or Videos
Before upload starts, users can:
- Select or change the destination folder
- Review the list of files to be uploaded
- Rename the file
- Remove the file from the upload queue
Once the upload starts, users can monitor progress or troubleshoot any issues via the Upload Center.
Uploading Large Batches of Files
There is no enforced limit on the number of files that can be uploaded at once. However, uploading more than 200 files in a single batch may impact app performance.
For a smoother and more reliable experience, it is recommended to upload large sets of files in smaller batches of fewer than 200 files.
When a batch exceeds 200 files, the app will display a warning indicating that performance may be affected and suggest smaller batches for optimal results.
Accessing the Upload Center
The Upload Center can be accessed from the app’s More menu:
