Watching progress

Progress is shown in the upload tray. Each file shows its status — pending, uploading, done or error — together with an overall percentage. You can collapse or expand the tray, and Cancel stops any remaining uploads.

Duplicate files

If a file of the same name already exists, you'll be asked to Skip or Overwrite it. An Apply to all option lets you make the same choice for the remaining duplicates.

Permissions

You need write permission in the current folder to upload. Without it, Upload is greyed out.
