Asset Library Improvement Ideas: Multi Item Selection and Folder Uploads
Happy Friday!
It would be nice if we could select multiple items from Asset Library (Ctrl+click, or Shift+click), or select a folder within the Asset Library, and move all those items into the project at once.
It would also be nice if we could upload a folder of items to Asset Library all at once. It would be great if that folder could have nested folders, and the Asset Library kept that folder structure after upload.
Thanks for your consideration!

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your feedback!
We currently have a ticket open for multi select, so it’s great to have your input as an extra push to further prioritise it. As there are some technical challenges to overcome, we will need some more research on possible approaches on the backend. I will keep you updated on the progress.
As for folder uploading, due to technical limitations of browser uploads (mainly due to security reasons, browsers are not allowed to access entire folder structures without user consent on each file). What could be possible however is to potentially upload a .zip file, and let the asset library unpack the .zip file, while respecting the imported folder structure inside the .zip. Would that also be an acceptable solution for you?
Thank you and have a great day!

Hi Gilles-
Great updates and feedback! Thank you for considering our requests. It’s awesome to have your support!
It’s totally understandable that technical challenges might make the ROI for a feature request too low. We certainly don’t want you spending huge amounts of developer time to save users a couple clicks!
Zipping the folder before uploading it would be no problem at all. That’s a great pragmatic solution.
Thanks again,
Andy
