Updated over 2 months ago

Who This Is For / When to Use

  • Users managing large volumes of media files

  • Teams organizing images, videos, or assets across folders

  • Anyone who needs faster bulk file operations

What Multi-Select Does in Media Storage

Multi-select allows you to select more than one file at a time and apply actions to all selected files simultaneously.

With multi-select, you can:

  • Select files using checkmarks or drag selection

  • Move multiple files to folders in one action

  • Download multiple files at once

  • Delete multiple files at once

  • See a live counter of selected files

How to Enter Multi-Select Mode

You can enter multi-select mode in two ways depending on the view.

Grid View Selection

  • Click and drag across files to select multiple items

  • Or open the three-dot menu on a file and choose Select

  • Selected files display a checkmark in the top-left corner

List View Selection

  • Use the checkbox next to each file to select multiple items

  • Selected files are highlighted automatically

Performing Bulk Actions

Once files are selected, bulk action controls appear automatically.

Available actions:

  • Move selected files to a folder

  • Download selected files

  • Delete selected files

A counter shows how many files are currently selected.

Drag-and-Drop Folder Moves

When moving files:

  • Drag selected files onto a folder

  • The destination folder highlights during hover

  • All selected files are moved together

This makes large reorganizations faster and more accurate.

Limits and Behavior

  • You can download up to 100 files at once

  • Files larger than 2 GB are skipped during bulk download

  • Large files must be downloaded individually

  • While in multi-select mode:

    • Rename is disabled

    • Get Link is disabled

These restrictions reduce accidental actions during bulk operations.

Common Issues and Fixes

Bulk Download Skips Some Files

  • Check if skipped files exceed 2 GB

  • Download large files individually

Actions Not Appearing

  • Ensure at least one file is selected

  • Exit and re-enter multi-select mode if needed
