How to upload folders?

← File Management
DriveUploader currently allows you to upload an unlimited number of files within a single folder, but temporarily it is not possible to upload multiple entire folders. However, it is possible to compress all folders and then upload them as a single file. As a bonus, the compressed folders will then have a smaller overall size on your Google Drive, so you'll save extra space. 

Below you can find instructions on how to compress files on the most common operating systems. Alternatively, you can use many online tools to help you compress folders.

Windows:
  1. Select the files and folders you want to compress.
  2. Right-click on the selected items and choose "Send to" from the context menu.
  3. In the submenu that appears, select "Compressed (zipped) folder."
  4. A new zip file will be created with the same name as the selected items. You can rename it if desired.

macOS:

  1. Select the files and folders you want to compress.
  2. Right-click on the selected items and choose "Compress" from the context menu.
  3. A zip file will be created with the same name as the selected items. You can rename it if desired.

Linux:

  1. Open the terminal.
  2. Navigate to the location where the files and folders you want to compress are located, using the cd command.
  3. Use the following command to compress the files and folders into a zip file:
    pythonCopy code
    zip -r compressed.zip file1 file2 folder1
    Replace compressed.zip with the desired name for the zip file, and file1 file2 folder1 with the actual names of the files and folders, you want to compress.
  4. Press Enter, and the zip file will be created in the current directory.
