Is there a file size limit and a file count limit when uploading to the file upload component?

Hello everyone,

as the title states, is there a cap on how many files a user can upload and is there a file size limit for each or for the entire upload process. Lastly, can the file upload component take a zip folder and extract all of the files and upload them, not an issue at all if it cant, but if my end user has less clicks to make the better, otherwise they'll survive.

I have users uploading .dwg files right, sometimes they upload 1, 5, 20, or 50 at a time - and every now and again they'll upload 200 or so because we'll have new assets enter the building.

Not sure if this matters, but once they're placed on the file upload component they are placed in a shared network drive and there meta data is stored in a SQL table via a script- I'm not sure if all of this other heavy lifting will affect the upload process.

There's certain configuration properties on the component itself (link). At larger file sizes (hundreds of megabytes?) you might start to hit limits with our webserver's default configurations.

You can absolutely upload a zip file. There's no built-in handling for separating out the internal files, but it's definitely possible to script something to do so.
You can use Python's zipfile (e.g. code: Can't extract .gwbk with zipfile.ZipFile on Windows (works fine in Linux)) but I'd recommend using Java's standard library (also mentioned in the above post).
