This topic describes the file upload feature and its limitations.
Features
Instant upload: If a file with the same content already exists in the cloud drive, it uploads instantly.
Drag-and-drop upload: After you log on to your cloud drive, you can select multiple local files and drag them into a folder to upload them.
Concurrent uploads: You can run up to 10 upload tasks simultaneously.
Customizable upload speed: You can set a maximum bandwidth for concurrent uploads to manage network usage.
Automatic retries: If an error occurs during an upload, the system automatically retries the operation.
Anonymous upload via shared links: External users can upload files with a shared link without signing in.
Click the Upload button and select File or Folder from the drop-down menu.
Support for handling same-name file upload conflicts: When you upload a file or folder, if a file or folder with the same name already exists, you can choose to "Skip", "Overwrite", or "Keep Both".
Skip: Does not upload the local file or folder with the same name. The existing file or folder in the cloud is kept.
Overwrite: Replaces the existing file or folder in the cloud with the local file or folder of the same name.
Keep Both: Keeps both the cloud and local files or folders. The system automatically appends a timestamp (for example,
_20240614_141353) to the name of the uploaded file or folder to differentiate it from the original.
